Some Thoughts During the Monaco GP

1. Fernando Alonso is effin' quick. He started last but started overtaking like crazy and started moving up real fast.

2. The new safety car, I forget the name, that Merc gullwing, looks real sweet. Wouldn't mind owning one of those.

3. Webber is too fast for Vettel this race, as the former has kept the pace and has continually made the latter eat the former's dust. Despite the fact that there has been three, count them, three safety car sessions.

4. Vettel's overtaking maneuver on Kubica at the start of the race was just amazing.

5. They supposedly raised some kerbs, so I've been seeing a lot of the cars that can't make the turn just go straight over the chicanes instead of taking them. So much for trying to prevent drivers from cutting the chicane.

6. Alonso's up to sixth place as I write. What a drive.

7. I'm not sure if it's more exciting or less exciting because they removed in-race refueling, but I still enjoy watching these cars race around.

8. Monaco's streets are really, really narrow. There are a few places a driver can overtake, but you'd still need watermelon sized cojones to actually do the overtaking maneuver.

9. Kubica's good. 2nd in qualifying driving a Renault? Where'd that come from?

10. Wouldn't it be cool if "Whipslash" (the antagonist played by Mickey Rourke in Iron Man 2) just came out and started destroying F1 cars as they passed by, just like in Iron Man 2?

11. Trouble for a Lotus car, I think. Did a pit stop and didn't move anymore. Was it Bruno Senna's car?

12. Vettel, Kubica, Massa battle for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th going on. Now we've got some excitement!

13. I think Michael Schumacher can still win a race this year. But I think he has lost a little in terms of performance. He's not as fast as he was in his prime, and that's quite natural seeing as how he's forty years old. Aside from the car not being on par with the Red Bulls and Ferraris and McLarens.

14. Looks like Webber will win this race. Good for him. And I mean that - I'm not being sarcastic.

I'll end my thoughts here.

Out.
