    Last year Ferrai ran the longer wheelbase car.
    This year I believe they are "standard" No ?
    Ferrari will do well as they have the R+D to do special aero for this track.

    If it rains the winner wil be however is driving the safety car...;)

    I'd pick Alonso if qualifying is wet, otherwise he'd be too far back to challenge for the win. Otherwise probably Kimi. Fuji aside, i'm not convinced by Hamilton in the wet just yet.

    Lol, thanks Steve, but you know Karts don't count! What was the guy's name that beat Senna for the World Karting title? I think it was Terry Fullerton. How many F1 races did he win? ;)

    last check -> 11:48 AM EST on 5/23

    cloudy on saturday and 80% chance of precip on Sunday...

    so quali should be clear, it is likely to be race day this is wet...

    real question could be which front-runner will make first impact with the lovely Monaco armcos?

    Alot of rain equals safety cars and the best passers will get it..asuming no one crashes into them. I'm all for ferrari but if it rains I see Massa taking out Kimi's rear end by accident. Hamilton will do well in the rain. Alonzo gets skiddish when his car slides but I think he will play it cautious and do well if one of the red bulls don't take him out. Keep your eye on him hee could do well here. Trulli has been having a rough practice in the dry. In the wet he's on the wall and out. This is a chance for the back of the pack to earn points if they can just make it thru the race with out incident. Let the bigboys fight and quietly slip by as they wipe out.

    I'm excited can't wait for the race.
