So yeah, this is now my new favourite race of the season. Superb racing, and all the drivers and teams are so on par with each other it's scary. 6.1 seconds covered the top six.
Webber started on pole after inheriting it from Schumi 'cause Schumi had a five-grid penalty to serve, and ended up winning the race. Six winners in six races into the season, which is now an F1 record.
Rosberg earned a second place after driving pretty safely and without incident, although he did push near the end but didn't make it. Alonso gladly on the podium again in third, which means he's leading the Driver's Championship (yay). Vettel fourth, after doing epic catching up with his late pitstop. Hamilton fifth, followed by Massa. Best result for Massa of the season. He did really well in qualifying yesterday too, making it into Q3 for the first time. Yay.
Force India 7-8, then Kimi (I think Lotus made a few mistakes here and there because of tyre indecisiveness).
Perez was ridiculously fast, so he set the fastest lap although he was out of the points in eleventh.
Button spun out, Schumi's car failed, and Grosjean retired too. And last race winner, Maldonado, stopped way early as well. Tsk.
At one point there was a Ferrari one-two, which totally made me happy. There hasn't been such a thing since, well, since.
I swear, Monaco is an amazing circuit. It's narrow but it's fast, and it's never boring.
But yeah, I don't think it's just the circuit. All the teams are improving, and all the drivers are regaining their competitive edges because they're all almost tasting victory. It's tantalising.
Hopefully we can get a seven for seven in Montreal. Fingers crossed. Massa or Kimi.
Adieu.
