Cover your ears if you don't want to know.
Webber wins! 2 of the last 3 races at Monaco is not a bad effort, even helped Seb move up a few places. Great season with six different winners in six races, any predictions on the 2012 championship?

not hard to win when you start in 1st place . Monaco as an f1 race is boring as bat**** and the cars have well and truly outgrown the track .

It's a dead set boring race

I liked the race. Sure it is less about overtaking, however pit strategies and tyre management play a significant part and I think this is interesting.

Too hard to really pick a championship winner at this stage, so many drivers are looking great. I choose Webber (no bias whatsoever...)

Certainly a touch easier than other spots on the grid but easy - no farrrken way.

The fuel tank is half empty

I enjoyed it, Mark doesn't have the best of starts but nailed it this time and the threat of rain made it a nervous watch. I admit, seeing Mark up front made it more enjoyable and great qually by MS.

Very good race imo, well done Webber. Good quali followed by strong race

If it did rain earlier as they were predicting, Vettel would of been P1.

Vergne's use of inters with 14 laps to go could of paid off handsomely if the rain came down. Either way his tyres were shot so he had nothing to lose.

As for Webber, he did what he had to do to get the job done.

Massa had easily his best race of the season so far and still no luck for Schumacher.

It may look boring but Monaco is a very physical and mentally draining race with 70 odd gear changes a lap.

Next race in Canada I predict a 7th winner, that being a Lotus of either "Magnum Man" or Grosjean.

Yep, I'd say 7th winner: Hamilton (even if I don't like him)
Then Grosjean then Kimi...
What a season !

Still an interesting motor race I thought.

In the post race interview Mark looked like he was having trouble hiding his distain for the new rules to artificially create more exitement in the racing eg DRS and Hard/soft tyres.

The fans are loving it.
