Vettel !!!
This is a cart track. walked it last week. The TV images do not accentuate how small and close this track is. Vettel is the latest product of cart. He is so more comfortable playing through these turns.
All the others are just driving behind him looking. Red Bull will again show fluid adaptive strategy to put the team on the podium. Again. The rest are spectators.

I'm sticking with Vettel. If he can qualify on pole he will be hard to get around on this narrow track. Of course tire stops seem to be where all the strategy is now.

Vettel has yet to win in Monaco. Is this the year? Finishing 2nd behind his teammate last year shows he is capable of racing on this track. But can he win? Time will tell. I am sure Webber, Hamilton, Button, Alonso and Schumacher (all previous Monaco winners) will be doing their best to ensure the young German remains shutout from the crown jewel of F1 racing. Oh Trulli is also and an active driver who has won at Monaco, but Jarno's best days are behind him.
It should be another Red Bull versus McLaren race (I give the edge to Red Bull because of their superior downforce). Alonso will be racing again to finish where he usually finishes this season, around 4th to 5th place (maybe luck out and get a 3rd if a Red Bull and/or McLaren crash out of the race).

McLaren is better on the straights and slow corners (which is what most of Monaco is made of), but I think Red Bull will be faster still in qualifying. So I'll go with Vettel. The RBRs will have good tires and unless they screw up the strategy they will win.
And just a reminder, P1 and P2 sessions are on Thursday this week

It's a Joke Finn. I don't think Kimi will let good beer go to waste like some others do.

Just an observation, but is anyone else bothered by KR's habit of not folding the bill on his caps, wearing them ala "rap gansta" (straight bill) style? What a douche!!!

OMG! I am agreeing with AW. Calling that beer is grounds for ex-communication from the church of Hops.
I think Hamilton is going to pull this one out. Again, tires and tire strategy, not driving, will most likely decide this race.

That's Kimi being Kimi and NOT doing exactly the same thing everyone else does... By now you'd think pretty much everyone who follows F1 knows that he doesn't give a **** what everyone else thinks about him or what he does.
Which is very refreshing especially in very clean cut corporate F1 world.
Douche... Right... What's next, Vettel is a douche because he wears a "rap gansta" beanie?!
