    Talking of Alonso. This is what the numbers on his helmet represent

    70 F1 GPs in Monaco
    27 day in the month
    30 his age
    5 the number of his car
    78 laps in the race
    14 his go kart number when he won his world champ
    75 podiums in F1
    19 fastest laps
    20 pole positions
    28 race wins

    Realistically, staying at McL was always most likely outcome, I'm glad to see progress on the matter though

    £20 million plus endorsement cash...he must be getting on for at least £30 million. Still I heard Alonso gets £26 million plus endorsement bonuses. He says it's a lot so shares it (doesn't say which percentage) with his side of the garage.

    Looking forward to the race, especially if wet.

    From watching FP1 and FP2 it looks to me as if the Lotus is pretty mighty, though Ferrari also look quick.

    Lotus or Ferrari victory to me.

    Raikonen or Grosjean to win I expect, with Alonso and the McLarens not far behind.

    Massa is looking strong this weekend.

    I expect him to be pretty close to alonso in quali.

    Not sure why people are expecting a good showing from Mclaren, their race pace has been poor the last two races and neither driver has looked any good in FP3.

    I dunno what to predict for this qualifying session. It's hard to tell during the trafficfest that is the last 10 minutes of any FP sessions at monaco...

    Think MErc/Lotus are both quick and could be in for a treat...
