F1 Monaco Grand Prix 2010
2010 Monaco grand prix was definitely one of the crunching and stunning races for last couple of years. There were mechanical failures, crashes, skills involved and tempered flared in this race. It got me all excited and thought I will go for a quick drive in my used Audi TT roadster or my sister’s Audi Q5 which we bought from used cars places near our house few weeks ago. It was a terrible idea of me because in that hype I forgot how many speed cameras there are and also Audi is not as fast as F1 machines. So I will now stick with just watching and may be hire a F3 car in Silverstone to fulfil my desire.
It was hot and beautiful in Monaco for the race. The circuit is 3.340km long and the race distance is 260.520km. The race started with the Australian Mark Webber in pole position of red bull team and just behind him the Polish Robert Kubica of Renault team. Behind them two was the new emerging star of F1 Sebastian Vettel. Many people are tipping Vettel for the title this season after his wonderful season last year.
This race had some horrible crashes which brought safety car on to the race course few times. Mark Webber got in with a really good start alongside Vettel and they were running brilliantly in first and second place respectively. Webber was looking good and each time he pulled away from rest of the pack the race was interrupted by a safety car. Safety car played its part to make the race interesting as Webber couldn’t pull away. At the end of the race after 78 laps it was indeed the Australian who too the chequered just in front of Vettel and then Kubica who finished third.
The race highlight has to be Webber’s win but let’s not forget Alonso’s fantastic race from 23rd position to finish 6th it was a great race from the Spaniard.
