F1 2013: Monaco GP.

[Ferry_vO]

First qualifying session on a wet track, so some surprising results:

17: Di Resta
18: Pic
19: Gutierrez
20: Chilton
21: Bianchi (No time after engine failure coming out of pitlane..)
22: Massa (Did not run due to this crash in FP3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=TD5hPxAe0qU )

Q2 session started out wet like Q1 but with about six minutes to go the first cars switched to slick tires. Again some surprising results!

11: Hulkenberg
12: Ricciardo
13: Grosjean
14: Bottas
15: Van der Garde (Good job!)
16: Maldonado

Q3 results:

1: Rosberg
2: Hamilton
3: Vettel
4: Webber
5: Raikkonen
6: Alonso
7: Perez
8: Sutil
9: Button
10: Vergne

Will be interesting to see how the Mercedes cars will deal with the tires; if the situation's the same as in previous races we'll see a long, slow parade led by two silver cars in the first part of the race..

Looks like the Marussias have no grip to go along with no power....:isadizzy:

Well that was a long and somewhat boring parade up front, at least we still have idiots like Perez, Massa, Maldonado and Grosjean to make it more interesting to watch...

Congratulations to Nico though, for winning in his home town!
