Monaco doesnt demand as much power as most other circuits. Plus aerodynamics play a larger role than engine power in F1.
Arrows doesnt regularly set highest trap speeds due to the "dominating" power of their AMT engine. Its because the chassis is aerodynamically efficient, yet lacks downforce. Which explains their poor performance in Monaco, and the need for add-on front wings. Bennetons good performance was due to a decent chassis. Not engine power. Plus Fisichella is a great driver who usually does well at Monaco, which explains the great qualifying performance. Button qualified where he usually does.
They will be slow again in Canada, a fast circuit which puts more of an importance on engine performance.
