Monaco can't be taken as indicative of anything as it's such a weird track. But good to know DC hung on for the win. Although I'd have preferred Montoya.

Congrats to DC!!!!!
A great win! Always good to see Montoya blowup, too bad TGF didn't suffer the same fate.Also great job by Fisichella, Trulli and Frentzen. Good to see Trulli can actually drive a good race every now and then. Bring on Canada, and go DC! (although I realize his chances here are slim) |

The commentators said the TGF wouldn't worry too much now that his championship rival was out (JPM). And yet, which Wlliams driver has more wins? I still question the "JPM is the greatest" line even if today was definitely not his fault. |

The thing that Ralf and JPM now ends on the same score really heat things up between the 2 and their fans...
Gentlemen...draw out your swords! PS. Congrats DC, now all you need is to keep such performance up. |

Peter, Peter, Peter...
 I don't think JPM would have been better than third today though, had he not gone out of the race with mechanical problems. TGF just looked too fast, and DC was too far ahead.Masterful drive by DC. Thankfully that smoke we saw several times didn't cause DC's race to come to a premature end. Refreshing to see someone other than TGF take the 10 points for a change. |

Great drive by DC, good to see someone other than TGF win. Also very pleased that Ralf has finally broken his Monaco jinx.
 Unfortunately the championship isn't wide open because TGF still has a huge lead and Williams can't concentrate on one driver because they're both equal. Still, I think we needed a close race after what happened in Austria. And while we're on the subject of the race, I dare anyone to praise Barrichello this weekend. Great job by Frentzen to hold on to that 6th place, which he deserved far more than Barrichello (who was, quite frankly, absolutely rubbish today).

DC really kept his head during the first 30 laps or so when Montoya,Michael and Ralf were almost within a second of his time and one slip could have cost him the lead.He did well and interestingly it seemed that the Mclaren Mercedes is still able to go easy on its tyres compared to the Williams. Both Williams were sliding all over the place prior to the first pit stops while DC was busy setting fastest laps.
As for the championship - unfortunately its all over. The only excitement will be to see if Williams can win the constructors title - they have the drivers to do it. |

Well done to DC.
Good to see the stewards are using thier powers well, with both Massa and Barrichello getting penalties for bad driving, I couldn't believe Brundle saying Bernoldi had messed up when he got pushed off by Massa. Wonder who will get the first move back 10 places penalty, think Massa deserved it today. Hopefully someone will teach him to come off the brakes when the locks up. |

"Bernoldi had messed up"... was Brundle watching the same race as the rest of us?!?
 Excellent overtaking by Enrique (go you good thing), once again proving his worth in that race. Too bad Massa messed up. |

Yeah, another good piece of racing from Bernoldi
now all he needs is to score a point...I think it was Massa who breaked very late and pushed off Bernoldi but I think Brundle was saying that Bernoldi would have gone off anyway :confused: |

A well deserved victory by DC. I thought for a minute that the puff of smoke coming from the engine would have ended his day. But is amounted to nothing and he was able to collected those ten points.

I just finished watching it on Tape delayed broadcast on ABC.
I realy wish I had seen it live, but HEY NOW!!!!You go DC!!!I am thrilled. On his best days, he's brilliant. I'm looking forward to Canada, and though I don't expect much, I'll still be cheering. All in all, a satisfying result. And for the doubters, that wa his second Monaco win. |

Fantastic job by DC, JPM showed his doubters he can stay of the wall, pity about the blow up, a 3 way battle to the finish would have been great.

Well done DC, he did a great job today.
I don't think the championship is "wide open". Perhaps in the second part op the championship we will feel like it is open for Williams drivers, but I think it's closed and designed for the Nº1 Ferrari of Michael Schumacher. |

Congrats to DC!!!! Great great job! Best GP of his career. I am thrilled for DC yet feel sad for JPM as he drove his heart out. I cant believe how DC and JPM were able to extract the laptime that they did out of these trucks in the qualifying session. Ferrari was on another planet today yet thanks to JPM blocking MS, DC was able to get the job done.

Wow. Puffs of smoke: that was nerve-racking. But DC was there at the end, and I must say I'm delighted to see McLaren able to pull it off. As for the "light fuel load at the start" which enabled him to pass JPM...evidently not! He just made a fabulous start which, after last year, he deserved. John Watson (on ABC, in the US) is...tolerable. I am sure there are Danny Sullivan fans out there, but I have to say, what a tedious prat; he was definitely the Jason Priestly of this race. However, in terms of cameras and shot selection, this was one fabulous GP from us ABC-consumers' point of view. It makes me sad that we can't get Bernie's box in the US... All the in-cars -- those battles in superb perspective, and really excellent replays of critical moments. I shall watch the Speed replay next weekend (girlfriend's out of town at the moment, and she's a DC fan, so she'll be eager to watch), to compare.
