The Australian Took The Monaco Title Away From The German F1
2010 Monaco grand prix was definitely one of the crunching and stunning races for last couple of years. There were skills, tempered flared, crashed and mechanical failures in this race. It had me all pumped so I thought why not I go for a quick drive around in my Audi TT roadster or my brother’s Audi Q5 which we got few months ago from used cars garage not so long 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 should just stick to watch the race on TV other than drive an Audi in a 30mph road.
The race was about to start and gorgeous weather surrounded Monaco. The distance of the race is 260.520km and the length of the circuit is 3.340km. Mark Webber the Australian took the pole in qualifying and was in the first row with Robert Kubica of the Renault team. Behind them two was the new emerging star of F1 Sebastian Vettel. A lot of people are tipping the German (Vettel) to take the title this year after a wonderful 2009 season.
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. Every time Webber pulled away a bit from the rest of the pack the safety car was called in and everyone caught up with Webber. To be honest that did keep the race interesting. At the end of lap 78 it was indeed Mark Webber who took the chequered flag in front of Vettel who finish second and Kubica in third place.
Highlight of the race surely has to be Alonso’s recovery from 23 positions to finish sixth, brilliantly done by the Spaniard after a horrible crash in the qualifying.
