Formula 1 Grand Prix De Monaco 2008

THE BEST RACE THIS SEASON SO FAR. wow. a very eventful race. i have been waiting for this since the season started. so what happened during the race?

... it rained. i know that i should think of the drivers' safety during the race. but a rain during the race makes it more exciting especially now with the absence of traction control. the skill of the driver is really tested.

... lots of crashes. they were expected, of course. rain, small lanes, sharp curves...

... among those who crashed were Nico Rosberg, David Coulthard, and Sebastian Vettel.

... the most unforgettable crash (for me) was the one between Kimi Räikkönen and Adrian Sutil. poor Sutil! i know it was just an accident and i'm a Kimi fan, but i partly blame Kimi for ruining Sutil's race. it was supposed to be Sutil's highest finish (4th) in his career, but his car didn't move anymore when he was inside the pit lane. so he got eliminated to think that there were only a few laps left. but his performance was good. he usually never finishes a race. but during the last few laps, his position was 4th, in between Felipe Massa and Kimi (no pressure there. haha.). but something happened to Kimi's car and it hit the back of Sutil's car. tsk, tsk... Sutil will some day have his shining moment.

... Lewis Hamilton won! yey! i really like seeing his reaction whenever he wins. he pumps his fists in the air and jumps for joy. unlike Kimi...

... okay. i am now bashing Kimi. i don't hate him. i am still a Kimi and Ferrari fan. but i am also a Lewis fan so it makes me happy whenever he wins. i want Lewis to win this year. if Kimi wins again, i would still feel happy.

... Lewis now leads with 38 points followed by Kimi with 35 points (he finished in 9th place after crashing with Sutil).

... here are the winners of this race:
1. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren-Mercedes)
2. Robert Kubica (BMW)
3. Felipe Massa (Ferrari)

next stop: Montreal, Canada. June 6-8, 2008.
