De support race's hebben zoals steeds enorm weinig track-time in Monaco: GP2 en WS hadden vandaag elke hun enige FP, terwijl de GP2 morgen en de WS zaterdag hun enige kwali sessie hebben.
Het World Series veld zal hun race hebben in prime time vlak voor de GP F1 op zondag! Terwijl de GP2 hun race al hebben op zaterdag, maar ze hebben wel een race van 45laps, terwijl de WS boy's na 25laps worden afgevlagt...

Hanley was in z'n Prema Dallara de snelste, hij is zelfs 0,6sec sneller dan Parente die 2e werd! Verder in de top 8 niks dan te verwachten namen...
Bijde KTR boy's zijn goed mee in het pack -zonder Monaco ervaring-!
Terwijl Maassen opvallend 19e is! Hij zal al z'n set nieuwe banden gebruikt hebben...
Problemen voor Aleshin! Hij reed maar 11laps en realisseerde pas de 18e tijd.

You just gotta love Pippa ...
Uiteindelijk vind ik dat ze het er veel beter van afbrengt met de krachtige en moeilijkere 3.5 dan dat ze vroeger deed met de FR2.0. Toen reed ze garantie altijd laatste (allez, als ge onze vriend Ben Khalifa uit Oman...of wie was het ook weer niet meetelt...)

Nu is ze zelfs op moeilijke circuits niet eens laatste van het pak met die beesten van 3.5.

Je moet het haar nageven, ze komt er altijd supervrouwelijk voor als ze niet in overall is gehesen. Hier een fotooke van haar van verleden jaar op de Ring (just for the sake of it) :

Voor het overige, toch wel een straf veld in die lagere competities. Dat GP2 veld kies ik iedere dag boven de F1. Zoveel talent op een hoopke, dat is niet meer normaal. En ook de top van de WSbR moet er niet voor onderdoen. Hanley, Albuquerque, Vettel ... niet gewoon. Mijn hopes for victory: Felipe in de WSR en Bruno in de GP2 ... of course

[Mark]

De volgende WsBR 3.5 helden kunnen al naar huis, wegens een beperkt aantal startplaatsen op de grid:

Xavier Maassen
Pippa Mann
Michael Herck
Danill Move

Volgens autosport.com is Maassen DNQ echter waarschijnlijk vanwege onderstaande reden mag hij toch starten:

The best times of several other drivers were cancelled for having cut across the chicane at the tunnel exit: Aleshin, Nuñez, Philippe, Ciompi and Valsecchi. Herck, Mann, Move and Philippe were the four drivers that failed to qualify for the race.

Klopt, het oorspronkelijke bericht op autosport.com is nog steeds niet verbeterd. It stays a dodgy company

Het verloop van de GP2 is zo te zien redelijk rustig verlopen, geen al te grote klappers. E.e.a. is zondagmorgen om 0900 uur te zien op Eurosport I, gevolgd door de Porsche Supercup.

Ik wist niet dat v/d Garde uit Noorwegen kwam.

Een enorm verschil tussen P4 en P5. Is er iets gebeurd?

[Mr.Dallara]

Een verslag van de race:

Monte-Carlo - Race: Alvaro Parente wins big!

After leading from start to finish, Alvaro Parente took his first win of the season. It was also Tech 1 Racing's first win in World Series Formula Renault 3.5. Sebastian Vettel's (Carlin Motorsport) runner-up spot means that he remains the championship leader. Although Monaco driver Clivio Piccione was third for long periods, the final podium spot went to Salvador Duran (Interwetten.com).
Alvaro Parente got off to the best start from pole and led the field into Sainte-Dévote ahead of Sebastian Vettel and Clivio Piccione. Despite the traditional jostling for position in the main field, all twenty-six cars made it through the first corner without incident. Kimball and Nuñez were the first to retire after clashing at Mirabeau.

At the end of the first lap, there was precious little to choose between Parente, Vettel and Piccione. Salvador Duran, who had made the best start, was already off the pace. The Mexican was pursued by Pavlovic, Van der Garde, Hanley, Aleshin, Valsecchi and Fauzy. The safety car was brought out after two laps, after Kimball and Nuñez clashed. Racing resumed at the end of lap 3. The three leaders pulled away again whilst Fairuz Fauzy was forced to retire, leaving Guillaume Moreau in 10th. Shortly afterwards, Ricardo Risatti went off at Massenet.

With 5 gone, Parente, Vettel and Piccione were within 1.2 seconds of each other. Duran and Pavlovic were the only ones who could keep pace with the three leaders. A good way back, Van der Garde was being pushed hard by Hanley and Aleshin. In the space of two laps, Parente extended his lead, which stood at over a second as the cars swept past the Royal Box for a seventh time. At the start of lap 10, Alessandro Ciompi, who was lying in 17th position, ran into the barriers at Sainte-Dévote. Vettel took the fastest race lap from Parente, as he closed the gap to the leader. A few lengths back of the leaders, Clivio Piccione could see Salvador Duran looming large in his mirrors. At the halfway stage, the gap between Parente and Vettel was down to 6/10ths. The Portuguese driver was however able to respond: he grabbed the fastest race lap and stretched his lead again. Hit by a gearbox problem, Vettel made a minor error at the second chicane at Swimming Pool: he lost 8/10ths, but caught it up in no time!
Barba, who was outside of the points, snatched the fastest race lap. He came into the pits to put on a fresh set of tyres and make sure of holding onto the best time.

With 20 of the 25 laps gone, it was as you were, with the leading three of Parente-Vettel-Piccione separated once again by less than two seconds. But a twist in the tail then saw Piccione make a costly error as he exited Sainte-Dévote! Salvador Duran inherited the final podium spot and Marco Bonanomi moved into the points! At the front, the scrap for victory was not quite over. Parente and Vettel went into the last two laps with less than 5/10ths between them! The German, quicker at that point, waited in vain for Parente to make a mistake. But his fading hopes were dashed as the yellow flags came out after Miguez went off at Swimming Pool.

Alvaro Parente: “I had a good start and I stayed on the inside line to defend my position. The car was under-steering a little on the slow corners, but the grip was good and I was able to run my race without any problems.”

Sebastian Vettel: “I had a scare when I couldn’t engage first gear at the start of the warm-up lap. You have to say that Alvaro had a great race. We were extremely close in terms of pace, but he didn’t make any mistakes despite the pressure I put him under. I had to fight with the car, but that’s normal for such a demanding race.”

Salvador Duran: “I had a good start, which meant I was able to get past Pavlovic going into the first corner. After that I pushed really hard whilst trying to spare my tyres. I had few brake problems, but I managed to keep pace with the leaders.”
