Most races at Monaco if the weather is good and after the first 10 laps usually are boring.

But it takes more concentration and focus to be on your own upfront on a street circuit especially monaco.
The heat , the pressure that is on you is incredible.
Jensen proved to everyone yesterday that he has massive concentration and that is a element of a  true champion no matter what car you are in and that is why all the drivers love to win monaco..

New teams announced, Prodrive, USF1, some spanish team and one other, should be a full grid next season!
Will that be 30 cars on the grid, if all the new teams go with a 2 driver setup?
Should make some of the tighter circuits very interesting.
MK4 GTI T AGU, REVO Remap, BMC carbon box, Miltek cat back, Forge diverter valve, THS FR3 engine/Gbox mounts, Some random alloys, lowered on coilovers.

Noticed another new entry for next season, Superfund, run by Alex Wurz,  Campos is the spanish team and Litespeed GP. Should be a nice full grid!

the grid is limited to 13 teams/26 drivers so some won't make it.

nah , if i remember rightly there are only going to be 13 teams allowed full stop , so some of the new wannabee entrants will be turned down flat.

Why only 13 teams, 26 cars, the should up it!!!  Loads of teams interested though and it looks like tyre warmers and fuel stops are out!

losing fuel stops would ruin it, they give the teams tactics and make it intresting
