Kimi Raikonnen has been driving exceptionally well and the car is exceptionally good. If McLaren maintains its form and a couple of DNF for Renault's Fernando Alonso, then we're up to a good F1 season finale. It will be a battle of the two young guns and heirs to Schumacher's throne. Kimi and FA will be starting at the front row. I think that it will be a battle for the first corner. Who ever makes it there first is the likely winner of the Monte Carlo GP. Webber qualifies well most of the time only to make but starts at the race. If he gets off the line as bad as he normally does, he might lose his place even to Trulli who's starting behind him. I'm almost sure he'd lose it to Fisichella who's starting beside him and on a fast starting Renault machine.

The Minardi's have out qualified both Jordans!!!
It seems the new Minardi's are worth the wait. They have out qualified both the Jordan cars, considering the fact that the Jordans are using Toyota engines which are running decently on a factory chassis.

THE RACE

Kimi Raikkonen
1st. Great Job! Led from start to finish for a back-to-back win.

Nick Heidfeld
2nd. Again, finished ahead of his team mate even when qualifying a in a lot lower grid position. Overtaking move of the race vs Fernando Alonso! Now if only Nick can master the one lap qualifying, he can show that the other guy is overhyped.

Mark Webber
3rd. Finally, a podium finish. It's been a long time coming.

Ferando Alonso
4th. Tyre has let the Renaults down. Too bad there wasn't a good battle for first place. Lucky him he was able to hold off JPM 'til the end.

Juan Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher
5th and 6th. Started at the back of the grid and made a great come back.

Minardi
After a good qualifying, it was all thrown away.

Jacques Villeneuve
After a bad move against team mate Massa, spoiled Sauber's chance of a double points finish. Hmmm. Really bad as he was just starting to show he's still F1 material, he does this and throw it all away again.
