[F1] Monaco Gran Prix 2004

2004 Monaco Grand Prix

This round of the F1 gran prix lies in monaco. Last year, Jenson Button was looking extremely fast in his uncompetitive car......but unfortunately put his car into a wall at full speed. He was very lucky to escape without serious injury. He claims that he isnt intimidated by the circuit - located on the streets, with no margin for error- he (along with the rest of the paddok) are expecting BAR to challenge for the podiums.....we'll have to wait 'n see.

NB- because of some tradition (i forget) , there will be no friday practice - instead, thursday (today) will see the two practive sessions usually held on fridays.

Timetable

Thursday 20
May
19.00-20.00 Thursday Practice 1

22.00-23.00 Thursday Practice 2

Saturday 22
May
17.00-17.45 Saturday Practice 1

18.15-19.00 Saturday Practice 2

21.00 Saturday Pre-Qual

22.00 Saturday Qualifying

Sunday 23
May
22.00 Race

I predict a solid two car points finish - with jenson second and taku fourth.

id be happy with your predictions....but i dont think kimi will come back just yet...

**Dylan** · 20-05-2004 07:12 PM

michael will win. no doubt about that.
button second.
montoya third.

i also, like jason, believe that kimi will have a good race this weekend, although im looking it from a relative perspective to his other grand prixs this year, which have turned out disastorous.

**McChook** · 20-05-2004 08:18 PM

I predict a Honda win..

Why?? Well...

Remember the Ligier team?? They scored a nice position at monaco a while back..... albeit with a Mugen engine from memory....

lol that was in 1996 and with a crap team crap driver crap engine. it was just 100% luck that oliver panis ended up winning that one and only grand prix of his.

Webbers car caught fire on his flying lap and the session was ended for several minutes.
He even got out of his car and got a fire extinguisher and helped the marshalls put it out.

Michael was quickest for the day!

I think that was a wet race as well and all the top knobs crashed out.

I wouldn't be suprised if Mark Webber and Anthony Davidson line up for Williams next year!
I have always said he is a top driver!
And he shows it through practice and testing!
