The interesting thing about F1 is that there are no two tracks that are the same. A team could have a good car at one track and fail at another.
Let us examine the next race at Monaco. The track characteristics are as follows.
Top Speed = 286KMH
Full Throttle = 42%
Down force = Very High
Tyre Wear = Medium
Brake Wear = High
Track temperature is important. Last race the track temp was 38 degs. I think Monaco will be about 6 degs cooler with the sea breeze blowing in.

I can see Raikkonen taking this one. The Lotus is ridiculously kind to its tyres.
Also expecting a respectable result from Button. I've noticed in some races this year that he's been able to rack up some good points by making one less pit stop than the guys around him. On a track like Monaco this could prove useful.

That will be hard considering most teams will one-stop or try to.

yes if Mercedes does still continue to eat its tires as long as they have track position I can see them taking this one. if someone does try to get the undercut if they get stuck in traffic its race ruined.

I guess that brings us to an even tougher question:
Rosberg or Hamilton?
posted on 19/5/13
That depends mate. Rosberg has been on pole 2 out of the last 3 races. I've tipped Hamilton to get pole but you never know
