The Monaco F1 Grand Prix is always worth watching, if not for the sight of 20-odd cars battling to get past each other on the narrow street course, then certainly for the picture-perfect location - gorgeous old buildings, Casino Square, and the blue Mediterranean Sea

Before his car caught fire, Mark Webber was having real problems lapping the back markers. The marshals weren't waving blue flags for him. I'm not surprised he tossed his wheel.

I feel sorry for Mark because he’s shown a lot of potential and is a much better driver than the statistics make out.

The thing that convinced me of Schumacher’s guilt was his sheepish performance in the press conference after qualifying, where he pretended to forget the name of the corner where the incident had occurred - yeah right. Senna, god bless him, would sat up there and insisted it was an accident and would have continued to do so even if all the evidence had said otherwise.

I think the problem Schumacher has, is that he occasionally makes these heat of the moment decisions, where his competitive nature overrides his judgement. I don’t think it’s calculated - it’s more instinctive.

Yes, I don't know what the hell was happening with the missing blue flags for Webber. It was certainly a good bit of audio to hear him screaming about them over the radio.

As much as I support him, I think Mark's got a bit of a temper, which might be part of why he's DNF'd a number of times when squeezing another car. I've also got a theory that drivers who consistantly have engine problems (Kimi, Webber) might be overdriving them. I've only just started pondering this so I need more races/research to see if there's any merit to that theory.

I missed the press conference with Schumacher, but in a still photo he looked very embarrassed/upset.
