    One of my favourite tracks on the calendar. Please don't let me down.

    Will the Hamilton streak go on?

    Mercedes have a great record here.

    Will the new Ferrari livery with go faster stripes work?

    Will the promised Honda big jump be what mclaren wanted 3 years ago?

    Let's find out..

    Got a feeling Vettel will bin it this weekend, with Hamilton also having a bad weekend. Another missed chance coming up I feel.

    What I really want is something unexpected to happen . Sudden down pour , safety car , then 5 laps later another one , anything to spice it all up a bit . We as fans deserve it IMHO .

    Remember Monaco 1982 :)

    Hamilton to take out Vettel in first corner?

    I predict that somebody will get in the lead and win the race. But I'm normally wrong, so the world is probably going to end before Sunday. Sorry all.

    More likely that Vettel takes out Kimi the way his seasons going.

    Thinking Max may get lucky as its a twisty turny circuit that may suit the red bull.

    Really hoping Hondas PU upgrade works well.

    Vettel to lose more ground to Hamilton and then afterwards to continue to have the demeanour of someone who is neither surprised nor bothered because despite their assertions to the contrary they came to the conclusion several races ago that it's not going to be their year.

    pretty much, I could still read stuff, but couldn't start threads or post on any, absolutely pathetic banning, not even worthy of a mild rebuke.
