F1 returns to it's greatest event this weekend, and already the barriers have claimed their first victim, Grosjean putting the Lotus into the wall at Saint Devote in FP2

Cant wait for this weekend, best race in F1 by a mile.
Awesome track, was lucky enough to be on a Contiki tour that stopped at Monaco 2 days before race day in 2006. All the barriers were up and a group of us walked a lap and took plenty of pics. Attending the race is still on my bucket list, hopefully I can go in 2 years time when I head to Europe

And nobody brought up Vettels helmet for this race...

A number of drivers have got different helmets for this race.

I'd be surprised to see anything other than a Merc 1-2 in qualifying tonight.

Q2 was a cracker.
Geez it heated up when they braved it and went to slicks.

If it's not the Mercs then I can see either Vettel or Webber winning it and no one else.

Red Bulls 1-2 for me although if Alonso gets his car sorted he could throw a spanner in the works

Mercedes keep their cars of the walls and no pitstop blunders, and will win easy. Vettel may have a crack at passing though.
