NiceGuyEddie should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I am a Sato fan, but I was not happy with the situation. In Monaco, the problem gets even bigger. A serious blowup reduces visability to zero and that is dangerous. The chances of that happening to Sato were huge (were talking Honda-engine here and the little puffs of smoke at every gearchange should have been enough of a hint that something was about to happen). Besides, the problem was killing Sato's laptimes. He was losing over 4 seconds a lap and therefor made the entire field lose over 4 seconds a lap, except those three in front of him. That means it is affecting the race itself for no particular purpose.

I'm not saying the team or Sato should've get the car in at their own initiative, but racecontrol should have.

Something else: I noticed that Fisichella was running at relativly high speed when he jumped Coulthard.
