If Hamilton wins pole position in qualifying then he will win the race. Of course if there are no technical problems.

The roads of Monaco are narrow and the cars are bigger this year. It will be very to overtake.

who will win the gp of Monaco?

Vettel       @2
Hamilton   @3
Bottas       @11
Ricciardo    @11
Raikkonen  @17
Verstappen @20
Sainz          @50

Vettel seems to be the big favorite after making the track record.
If he starts pole position and defends his first place after departure he has great chances to win this gp

Overall, the differences are not big at all, and even McLaren Stallone Vanderne and Jensen Button, who replaced Fernando Alonso, are less than 1.3 seconds behind. Mercedes will improve their performance and gain qualifications

Those are the results of FP2 btw, just to make things clear to those who missed it.  And Hamiltion edged out Vettel in FP1.  I'm not sure what tire choices were used by the Mercedes in FP2 but I read that Vettel switched to ultrasofts and that's when he broke the 1'13 barrier.

Here are the results of FP1

New track record for Vettel, the first driver under 1'13"00.

Surprisingly the Toro Rosso, Mercedes seems to be in trouble

I'm really sorry for Hayden. He was a great rider and also a good and nice guy. Rip Nicky

One of best races in formula1 calendar by me. Where its not that important car but the driver is key. Skilled drivers have good chances here if the take good position remember last year it was Alonso in Honda that was keeping Nico until race is over. Shame is that he wont be here cuz he is driving Indy 500 this weekend to. Also Button who will replace him for this race is hopping to see 5th Monaco finish in point.

The most prestigeous race of the year is this weekend guys.  The Monaco GP 2017.  It's been a pretty close fight between Vettel and Hamilton so far, so let's see who edges who out this weekend.

One very sad new Nicky Hayden pass away today due to crash last week when car hit him while riding a bicycle.



RIP Nicky Hayden: 1981-2017

It has been a fantastic race, and we have to compliment Valentino Rossi (38 years old) who has tried to win in every way. He was unlucky to fall but he proved to be still a champion.

iam very sad valentino rossi crash in last lap
i thin rossi is very old, is not compatible to wold championship, is only win race i think rossi can win, but if word championship not campatible

Best race of the season in MotoGp so far. Shame was crashes from Rossi and Marquez, but Rossi really wanted to win here and he pushes little over the edge, also would like to mentioned that Marquez did something that is not allowed he return bike in opposite direction hat is not allowed by MotoGP rules. Now we have to see if he will get punished for this for next race 5 spots in grid for next race.

Great race best so far shame for Rossi and Marquez but race was fenomenal.  Hope to see more races like this.

Seen this season march marquez performance decreased from the previous season, i dont know why we not get start from pole 1-3 because i read in the news at Q1 he became the fastest racer. honestly bad to see maverick can made a surpised after he disappeared in some race.

Who wins French gp (Le Mans)?

Vinales       @2.20
Rossi          @3.00
Marquez     @5.00
Zarco         @6.00
Crutchlow @17.00
Dovizioso @30.00
Pedrosa   @30.00


Today Valentino Rossi will try to win the race without making any calculation, because he wants to dedicate the victory to his friend Hayden in very bad conditions

We will have HJC Helmets Grand Prix de France from 19 May - 21 May in MotoGP, but this will be in shadow due to car crash on Hayden in Italy.
Sorry that he is in the hospital. This is sad at the moment but hope he will regain conscience and will return to driving in Super Bike this season.

Yea word or news is that he is still in coma. Hope he will be well and will woke up and that he will return to the track.
