I know. I love Monaco too, pure drivers circuit, and its so realistic on video games!
But ya right about Mclaren being dire. I cant understand it, how their mercedes engine doesnt produce as well as some rookie mercedes car! Its just not their year.

Brawn dominant again, good race for Ferrari, Kimi did a good job, hopefully their comeback is on!

FERRARI will be on the Formula One grid in 2010.


The Italians had threatened to quit the sport unless the FIA dropped plans to introduce a Ł40million budget cap from next season.

But with the deadline today for entry into the 2010 championship, Ferrari — along with the other existing teams — are set to sign up.

They are willing to accept a compromise with an Ł85m cap next year before the Ł40m restriction comes into effect in 2011.

The actual budget will be much higher as engine costs, drivers’ wages, hospitality and marketing are not included.

With Ferrari’s drivers on mega-bucks — Kimi Raikkonen earns Ł30m — they will be operating on around Ł145m next year.



Great news for any F1 fan

Yeah, read about it. The McLaren is a really uncompetitive car this year.
