Brawn is a genius starting the cars on the Super Softs along with Button and Barrichello driving the shyte out of the cars. Now I'm a huge fan of Kimi, but the only reason those cars kept up was because of KERS. I would have loved to see puss-face (Massa) get a drive through for cutting the corners so terribly.

No one got a drive through penalty for cutting the chicanes.

F1 drivers campaigned to have a huge billboard depicting an attractive woman removed prior to Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix.

The advertisement for Martini stood right in the drivers' line of sight as they accelerated out of the Loews hairpin and turned right.

Race winner Jenson Button admitted to Bild newspaper: "Every time you passed her, it was as though she was looking right at you."

The model, 29-year-old Jessiqa Pace, was in Monaco, laughing at the story but admitting she would have felt "terrible if someone got hurt".


I have to agree, that billboard needs to go.

If you watch the race on Speed Channel, Steve Matchet does his usual technical feature. For the Monaco race, they featured last season's Red Bull racing transmission. Incredibly small for a 7 speed cassette style gear box with a dog fork selector camshaft, very similar to a motorcycle. Last season Steve also did a segment on the Red Bull multi-plate carbon clutch that fit easily in the palm of his hand (~4" in diameter). Amazing tech in F1 even if the cars are uglier now than even last season.

Love how the gear teeth were different widths depending on the torque (wider for lower gears, narrower for upper) and reverse gear's teeth were hollowed for weight savings
