2012 Formula One Monaco Grand Prix

When watching and watching the replay, Grosjean had enough room from the left but i think he decided to block Schumi. thats my opinion.

Grosjean lost the start, thats why this happened

You can't hold your line going into t1, someone has to yield and MS was behind.

The ARMCO juts out onto the race track and narrows the entry into T1. Even if RG stays a little farther right, MS would still run out of room. Too ambitious of MS taking that line.

MS went for a 2 car wide gap (silly thing to blame him for this, all racers would do the same), and he was backing out as he saw there won t be enough room, but Grosjean went too much to the left, i guess he was scared of the touch with Alonso. Unlucky racing incident.

At the same time you blame Grosjeran with superfast reflexes, becasue he moved in a splitsecond 10cm to much?

10 cm? (A tyre is over 30 cm, judge yourself).

I also find totally wrong the "MS should know the track tightens on T1". The crash was quite far from it, 5 car-wide there and still plenty of room for maneuvering (considering MW and NR are still waaay on the inside and several meters closer to the turn).

I feel bad for Schumacher Excellent pace since his return. But damn the guy really needs a 4 leaf clover or something. He's plagued by bad luck!

 

[James Maskell]

You can fit an extra car there.... Plenty of room

10 cm? (A tyre is over 30 cm, judge yourself).

If he would have been 10cm more to the right, they wouldn't have touched. That's what I'M saying. It's still a splitsecond descission

Agreed. But a bad decision (of RG). I completely cannot understand how anybody could blame this on MS.

 

[Metalfreaky]

I'm not blaming anyone. It's a normal racing incident for me. Especially in the chaos of a Monaco start

 

[Fadel Sabbagh]

Great start from Micheal, going for 4th position, but here Grosjean decided that he can not!

 

[Hampus Andersson]

I envy (and surely Schumi too) your superfast reflexes and/or foresight. Are you serious?

What? Are you serious?

Schumacher realized the gap was going to dissappear so he backed out but wasn´t fast enough or realized it quick enough because they obviously collided.

He had his tire in the middle of RG´s car then his front right collided with RG´s left rear.

Meaning Schumacher realized too late that there would be a collision, that´s why they
collided.
He would have collided if he had stayed, he collided by backing out to late, he would have escaped the incident had he not put his car there.

You are miss-understanding the whole post.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Here he is almost side by side, realizes that this won´t work so he backs out.

He saw what was going to happen but did not have enough time.
Had he really thought he could keep it there and make it, he would have.

He sees Alonso on the inside, does a simple math in the head and realize he will lose everytime if he stays side by side with Grosjean.
Smart driving by Schumacher event though they collided.

Congrats to the Aussie for making it six winners in six races. Can they do seven for seven? Hamilton has yet to win this season, but he has won the Canadian GP before.

Guys, do any of you remember the 2001 Monaco GP where Bernoldi held up Coulthard for about 50 laps ?

Well it reminds me of Kovalainen holding up Button for about 60 laps until the contact ensued.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Caterham should be lucky Kovalainen made the decision to join them, he´s a fantastic driver really.
Not world class like Alonso maybe but a very very good driver.

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

Schumi for Montreal as it Fully favours Mercedes and Also He was on return to his top form
And He can make 7 Different Driver win in 7 races

I also thought about that battle, I was 7 or 8 years old then, but its one of those battles I still remember.

Exactly. If Massa ever leaves Ferrari I'd know who to hire for the number 2 position.

But Mclaren needs to sort out lot things from Now if not only Lewis will be on points
