    Last Time
    Jenson Button gave on of his finest performances in a f1 car, with great drive to victory. On a drying track, he overtook Sebastian Vettel on the last lap, in one of the best final laps in the history of F1.  Michael Schumacher also had a good race, taking fourth, after being in the battle for second. Added that, to his "Pole" in Monaco, he could be a good bet for at least a Podium, and maybe a win?

    This Time
    Well, could we possibly have a seventh different winner in our seventh race. It's possible. We are still waiting for Lewis Hamilton to win, then there is Kimi Raikkonen, Romain Grosjean & Michael Schumacher. Felipe Massa also had a great Monaco GP, and then there is Sergio Perez and Bruno Senna, either of which could win. One thing that is certain, is that the race should not be bore-fest. Last year, it was the best race of the year, and we have had some good races even further back. Robert Kubica got his first win here, after Hamilton & Raikkonen collided in the pits.
