1. Will Ferrari continue its winning ways with Raikkonen?
NO...

2. Will Massa win a race in a track other than his favorites?
No... he only can win in some circuits...

3. Will McLaren-Mercedes bounce back? And with who, Lewis or Heikki?
Yes... Both Mclarens will be in the podium !yahoo:

4. Will BMW-Sauber show their potential in this tight-and-twisty circuit?
Yes... I think Kubica is going to have a second or third place...

5. What will Alonso the back-to-back winner do in Monaco?
He's the best f1 pilot this season... for sure he will be among the first six

6. Will Toyota and Red Bull be again strong?
Trulli and DC may have good races...

First practice session analysis:
- Ferrari seems to feel good in Monaco, especially Kimi
- Massa suffers from lack of TC, so it's not a good track for him, I think he won't be able to compete for the podium
- Hamilton... it's going to be interesting fight between him and Raikkonen
- Kovalainen may perform well...
- Kubica - ehh, I'm afraid McLarens are too fast for BMWs, but I expect Robert to finish 4th
- Heidfeld still has some problems with the car, it won't be an ideal weekend for him
- Rosberg showed off with his 5th time, but the race won't be that good for him. He'll finish after Heidfeld
- Alonso pushes hard in Renault, he pretends to about 8th position
- Surprising Fisichella with 11th time, he may mess around in the second half of the field
- others won't do anything great in the next practice, as well as in quali and during the race

sry but how do i get the ITV stream working?
As I walked through it Sunday evening, I couldn’t help but be amazed by the scale of this operation and the thousands of man hours that go into entertaining us for a couple of hours, 17 times a year.

FP2 red flagged.

Alonso knocked the rear wing off his Renault.

Piquet did the same earlier in the session as well, expensive rear wing bill for Renault lol :P

Rosberg P2, both Hondas in top 10, but that doesn't take fuel loads etc into consideration

Ron Dennis almost gets run over by Lewis as the youngster leaves his garage… the McLaren boss having to jump over a wall.
I didn't notice on TV that it was Dennis but it was pretty close anyway, huh. :tired:
