The Monaco Grand Prix

The latest in the formula one calendar was Monaco, which was on TV yesterday (sorry about the lack of review on the Spanish Grand Prix). As Monaco is one of the most challenging tracks of the season, everyone was expecting a lot of action. And they were not disappointed. Qualifying saw a few crashes, which included Daniel Kvyat spinning across the chicane. A lot of people will now be suspicious of Nico Rosberg as he (controversially) accidentally locked up on the last lap and caused a yellow flag to be raised, meaning that Lewis Hamilton could not beat his qualifying lap so Rosberg could take pole. People are accusing Rosberg of purposefully locking up but he has been cleared by the FIA, something that may put peoples minds at rest. Results of qualifying can be found at the usual place.

The race itself was full of action. Rosberg led from the start and came through to win, Hamilton backing off in the middle of the race because he had dirt in his eye. Sebastian Vettel was unable to finish because of mechanical problems, while Pastor Maldonado was unable to start. There were a lot of incidents,too many to list here, but Jules Bianchi managed to finish 9th to take Marrusia's first ever formula one points, something they were very exited about. Towards the end of the race Daniel Riccardo was trying to overtake Lewis Hamilton, who was on very old tyres. He did not manage it but still managed to be 3rd. The results can also be found at the normal place. The next race will be in Canada,in two weeks time.
