McLaren take Monaco by storm
McLaren Mercedes dominated at this weekends Monaco GP. Alonso and Lewis came home 1-2 in a dominant showing from the Grove based team.
The two McLaren’s lead from the start, and never looked like being surpassed all race. The Ferrari of Massa could not hang with the two silver cars, and made the race easy for the two at the front. Lewis had a few extra laps of fuel in the car, but struggled to maintain the race perfect pace of Alonso in the opening part of the race, and therefore could not capitalise on his longer first run.
Behind the two McLaren’s, Massa’s Ferrari showed that the struggling pace of the team was not just merely a practice and qualifying issue. Massa struggled to keep up with Lewis in the first section of the race, and after the first stop the Ferrari team resorted to trying the super soft tyres, in an attempt to give the Ferrari a little more pace. This did not work, and Massa could just not live with the pace of the front runners.

Wurz at Williams
Hot on the heals of the news that Webber has not signed on at Williams, they announce one of there drivers for next year.
Alex Wurz has been announced as the second seat at the Grove team.
Austrian Wurz will drive alongside the GP2 rookie Nico Rosberg. Wurz has been the team's test and reserve driver all year, and has obviously impressed the powers that be, with Frank Williams saying "Alex brings us important technical continuity and understanding of the car and as well as being an excellent communicator with our engineers. He is ultra-competitive during the Friday 'full tank' practice sessions."
So that leaves the question of where Webber will slot in to be answered, but I would think that if Renault do not announce Kimi's signature soon, then he will slot into his managers Renault team.
