The sixth round of the 2008 FIA World Championship will begin tomorrow with it's first practice session. After that, qualifying will be Saturday, with the race being Sunday.
The Monte Carlo Street Circuit, is known to every F1 driver, as the most unique track on the calendar. It's also the oldest grand prix in Formula One, beginning since 1950.
Word on the Monte Carlo weather predicts their will be showers of rain for practice, qualifying AND raceday. This will surely be interesting as they're's no traction control this year, and the Monte Carlo Street Circuit is known for slow corners and it's small size. Making predictions almost nearly impossible.
Ferrari: They proved how fastest they are at slow corners in the past grand prix', but they might have trouble against the competitive and under-pressured McLaren team. Felipe and Kimi are dominating the championship, but this can all turn into dust if McLaren, Sauber and maybe Renault continue to improve.
BMW Sauber: Hopefully, they will take advantage of the weather and take their first win. They are slowly improving, and both "Quick Nick" and Robert had a fatanstic start in Istanbul.
Renault: Renault are also slowly improving, and Fernando Alonso won the event twice in a row. Hopefully, he will make his mechanics work hard. Keep an eye on Nelsinho, he might actually get points, and if possible, the win.
Red Bull: I could see them on the podium. Mark Webber just showed us the Red Bull's full potential, and is easily smoking Coulthard's greedy azz. I predict Webber will go on the podium, while David will make points.
Williams: As much I would love to see Rosberg win, he isn't really a great driver when it comes to rain. Nico can't even finish a race at small circuits like Monaco and Montreal. While for Nakajima...let's just say he will crash into someone. ![]()
Toyota: Jarno Trulli is considered the "King of Monaco". So I would assume he might win, or get a few points. Timo might get points...if he stays concentrated.
Honda: Well to be honest, this is one of the few races where Honda can make points. Hopefully Jenson and Rubens will take advantage of the possible chaos and get some well-deserved points.
Toro Rosso: Keep an eye on them. They have their new car, the STR3 ready to race, and who knows how fast it is. Sebastien Bourdais is also a master at Monte Carlo (in ChampCar, that is) so expect him to get points. Vettel might get points if he's not unlucky again.
Force India: Giancarlo Fisichella said that this was his favourite circuit and knowing his experience, I would guess he might get points. He's also going to have his 200th grand prix appearence this weekend. Sutil is a great driver, and hopefully he can pull it off.
McLaren: They currently hold the record for "Most Wins at Monte Carlo". They are really keeping the pace on the Ferrari's and it seems Lewis might win. Heikki also has a chance! Hopefully, he will not suffer so much bad luck.
