React to the Action - Monaco Grand Prix
(4 posts) (4 voices)-
Yet again this weekend Red Bull proved they are the team to beat after Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel came home in 1st and 2nd at the Monaco Grand Prix.
Webber's confidence will no dobut be sky high after this impressive drive around the streets of Monte Carlo. Two wins in a week. Not bad for the Aussie.
Robert Kubica continued his fine form with a well deserved 3rd place. Had he qualified on pole who knows what might have happened.
Webber's victory was overshadowed by Michael Schumacher illegally overtaking Fernando Alonso at the end of the race. The German was given a 20 second penalty.
Should Schumacher have kept his 6th placed finish? What are your thoughts?
And what about Tonio Liuzzi? Finshing in the Top 10 on his 50th race start. How much confidence will this give him after going three races without finishing in the points?

Webber gave a faultless drive and along with Kubica were the most impressive drivers.
Personally thought Schumi should have kept place as he was opportunistic and Alonso was sleeping but there you go, you win some, you lose some.
Good for tonio, whether there's more to come from him I'm not sure but its nice to see him picking up some points.

This was the one place the Red Bull wasn't meant to dominate. It's curtains for everyone, unless someone can develop a better car and quickly.
Webber has gone from underachiever to front-runner for the title in two weeks. It'll be Vettel vs Webber, and Webber's greater experience might tell in the end.
As for Schumi, check out the Mercedes blog I am about to upload. Terrible decision.
Liuzzi - and the Force India's overall - had a terrific weekend. They are no longer the joke team. They can seriously challenge Renault and Mercedes in some races for the minor points. Great work done there.

MemberThe landscape of the season changes yet again, although one constant is the speed the Red Bull travels at. Mark Webber may have dominated the past two races, but the car has been more or less perfect for him. Can it stay that way, even though we aren't even halfway in the season?
It is Vettel vs. Webber now, and they can only be separated by a cigarette paper, it's that close. But, McLaren showed last year they can develop at a phenomenal rate, so don't rule them out just yet.
Force India and Kubica were extremly impressive all weekend. Force India have muscled out Toro Rosso for regular points finishes at the tail-end, and on a good day they can challenge Renault, maybe Mercedes.
The Schumacher punishment was just. The bad decision was to let the cars race for only 300 yards or so, to be honest. If any other car had overtaken on that last corner, there wouldn't be that much of an uproar. Schumacher vs. Hill in 2010 isn't as exciting as 15 years ago!
