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.

Last one
Yup it’s that time of the year again, another last GP.
This is however going to be a cracker, the title fight comes down to this last GP. Can Michael take his 8th and last career championship, or can Alonso take his second in a row for the Renault team.
Fillipe Massa has stated openly that he will do all in his power to help Michael win the title. Can the same be said for Fisichella? will he help out Alonso in the same way? Fisichella has already signed his deal with Renault, so should he need to help his current team leader.
The Brazilian GP will certainly turn out to be a showdown, lets hope it turns out to be a clean race.
