WAHEY

[Knowlesy]

So happy for him.....great, controlled drive and a monkey off his back.

[Damon]

Damn well done Jarno and Jenson. That was a genuinely entertaining Grand Prix.

[Dani Filth]

congrats . he deserved it

[pirenzo]

Bloody fantastic race

Did anybody predicted this?

As Damon said:

I'll second that.

[Gt_R]

Great win for Trulli..really deserved it!

And even if Button win, it would be equally deserved! So well done to them too...

And it makes it even more pleasing knowing you've lapped the lead Williams and open a 1min gap to a Ferrari.. Well done!

fantastic stuff!...well done to both jarno and jenson...what stirring drives by both of them....great race.....all the superlatives apply...bonehead move of the race to alonso.....

Congrats JT!! I once felt he was the most unlucky driver in F1. I am happy for him. JB put in a solid drive too but the Renaults were too fast today.

[Fish_Flake]

You see? Take the Ferraris out of the occasion, and we have several evenly-matched teams gunning for top position. BAR, Renault, Williams, and even McLaren (excepting engine woes) are all running at the same pace now, as a result of a fierce offseason program. Too bad the two red cars just happened to set the bar one notch higher. Hopefully Michael's error will spark some sort of chain reaction of bad luck for him, with the next series of races so close in succession.

I've seen less monkeys in a zoo then appear to be on F1 drivers backs.

Congrats Jano

[EERO]

Well I predicted a Trulli win before the season started, but Monaco? Err no.


But of all the races to have in the bag, this is the one. he lookesd brilliant and it just might prove to be the one thing he needed to establish his form from karting.

[ralf fan]

Fantastic for Jarno!!! well deserved win... and finally an exciting GP!!

[ralf fan]

I hope Mosely saw the final few laps... this is what we want happening more often in F1... fantastic driver from Jenson as well!!

in the prediction competition only 1 guy predicted a Trulli pole and win... and another guy predicted a Trulli pole but not a win... hope that answers your question..

[Asp]

Amen to all that's been said.
And what's better is that, in my honest opinion, Trulli would still have won even if Michael had not retired.
Great drives from both the top two, great race in general. Makes it for not being at Snetterton

Maybe so, but you had to be getting alittle nervous when Michael really started pouring it on! It could really have been some finish if Michael didn't have that mishap in the tunnel.

Good work Jarno and Jenson!

[enemy-ace]

Schumacher still had to pit, while both Trulli and Button had made their final stops. At best Michael would have finished third IMO. To bad for MS's accident, it would have been great for Trulli to win with Michael still on track. Absolutely fantastic race though and what a classic way for Jarno to win his first one. He's always been brilliantly quick at Monaco and now that speed has payed off.
Jenson was quite quick today as well, but if weren't for the backmarkers he would never have been that close in the end.
Genuinely happy for Jarno, the driver of the race. Beating the dominating Ferrari's on pace. A classic GP.

[jetsetter]

Once Ferrari made the decision not to pit under the Safety Car their chances of victory dissapeared. A great effort by both Trulli & Button to both keep their composure until the finish & making it easily the best race of the year to date.

[Pitstop]

Brilliant stuff!! Congrats to Jarno and Jenson.

It was a race full of incident and problems for many.

Trulli and Button were out of the problem areas, kept their respective 'cool' and got on with the job.

I wanted Jenson to win 'cos he comes from the next county to me and he's English and he's such an improving driver, and he's working hard and, ah well! he'll get there soon enough.

Well done both of them.

Well said Mr. A, except I would substitute Mount Tremblant.(Rolex series outing.) for Snetterton.

The best race of the last two years at least, maybe longer.

[Omega99]

What a great race!

- lot's of drama
- strange incidents
- exciting and close finish
- Trulli gets his first win

I hope the rest of them are like this...

[Hazard]

Hope so. Doubt it though. Monaco occassionally can shine through, but no one's done anything to put themselves in a position to beat Schumacher yet. Incidents and the like are all that stopped him winning today, from Sato's start, two safety cars, the bad pit strategy - to the crash with Montoya obviously.

Still, congratuations to Trulli for sticking it to them. Here's to Renault to take 2nd overall.

Barrichello is actually having his best season on the quiet. Just keeping out of the way and consistently scoring. With the 10-8-6...system he's still scoring well and still within shooting distance of Michael, despite being completely unmemorable in his performances. (I don't even remember seeing his car today).
