Monaco Practice 1 and 2.

**Peter Mallett** · 20 May 2004, 09:37 (Ref:976307)

At 30 mins Fissi is at the head of the times followed by Alonso, Ant and JPM. Ralf Scumacher got three laps in and stopped.

**Peter Mallett** · 20 May 2004, 09:38 (Ref:976309)

Session red flagged at 11.32 local time to clear Mark Webber's car after an engine fire. Does that mean no further part in the event for Mark?

Rick · 20 May 2004, 09:41 (Ref:976313)

if he loses 10 spots on the grid he may as well pack up now!

**Peter Mallett** · 20 May 2004, 09:43 (Ref:976316)

Ant and Jenson head the times now.

**Peter Mallett** · 20 May 2004, 09:45 (Ref:976320)

Oops. Now MS is putting in an effort.

**Adam43** · 20 May 2004, 09:58 (Ref:976329)

and Bosch!

although AD has set S1 purple....

**Adam43** · 20 May 2004, 10:03 (Ref:976332)

still 2nd for AD.

Do we know why Ralf has only done 3 laps? has he been replaced with JV already

**Peter Mallett** · 20 May 2004, 10:11 (Ref:976340)

See my original post.

**Peter Mallett** · 20 May 2004, 10:12 (Ref:976341)

Sato up to second. Button third.

Red · 20 May 2004, 10:16 (Ref:976347)

Apparently Ralf will have to change the engine too.

**Peter Mallett** · 20 May 2004, 10:19 (Ref:976349)

Hopefully it'll be his mechanics!

"and stopped" what kind of a reason is that? Its not good enough, your meant to be commentating on this. Oh wait your not

Anyway, I understand the expression "monster lap" would describe Michael's effort!

garcon · 20 May 2004, 10:38 (Ref:976372)

Michael Monsters Monaco!

Hmmm...

**Adam43** · 20 May 2004, 10:46 (Ref:976383)

surely you mean 'Mmm

'

Ralf stopped at T14 (Swimming pool?)

Pantano has a little problem on the first lap. He stalled on the pit lane entrance and everyone had to queue behind him - apart from JPM who just overtook them all under yellow.

Apparetly Webber tried to put the fire out himself!

**Peter Mallett** · 20 May 2004, 11:13 (Ref:976412)

What a marvelous picture you conjure with those words.

Is the new RED paint more flamable?

But on a more serious note.... How would he of gotten hold of a fire extinguisher? Also would drivers be trained for this? What are the Health and Safety laws like in Monaco?

**Peter Mallett** · 20 May 2004, 11:14 (Ref:976414)

Oh, he was using a fire extinguisher!

From the report he apparently asked a marshall for an extra fire extinguisher and assisted the marshall in putting out the fire.

**Peter Mallett** · 20 May 2004, 11:20 (Ref:976423)

Well what does it mean in terms of the weekend? Does he get any penalty? Likewise does Ralf? And will anybody notice?

I would think a 10 grid penalty would hurt Ralf much more than it would hurt Webber. At least the Williams Car (not Ralf) is fairly competitive and capable of a top 5 finish if not a win. The Jag...i would think 12th at best unless he had a wicked start...and again this is the Jag...so forget that.

Unfortunately for Webber and the lovely jaguar, even if he does start at the back of the grid, he would mainly have to clear a couple minardis, jordans and toyotas. Even if he qualified in the top ten, i think he would eventually fall back some.

dcp2685 · 20 May 2004, 11:43 (Ref:976451)

At the same time i think it would be quite funny to see Ralfie boy start the race amid a pack of black and yellow cars.

Even as a BMW fan (although i know this one isn't his fault) i feel this season (already has been) and probalby will be a one man team.
