BAMBINO: Qualifying is everything at the tight Monaco street circuit. Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton took the first two spots on the grid and finished that way. Alonso was hardly challenged other than by Hamilton who is still turning heads with his brilliant rookie start. Fernando cruised his McLaren to his consecutive GP win at the famed street circuit.
Ferrari never really had the grip they needed. Felipe Massa qualified third and finished third and Kimi Raikkonen's clipping of the wall near La Piscine in qualifying put him at the back of grid. Although Kimi did nail down the final points paying spot finishing 8th, he clearly is underacheiving at La Scuderia Ferrari.
One big story is American Scott Speed of Torro Rosso-Ferrari. Speed qualified 20th and finished 9th. He battled the factory Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen for 8th position which will further Ferrari's anxiety. Next up is the Canadian GP.
FINAL RESULTS:
1) Fernando Alonso - McLaren-Mercedes
2) Lewis Hamilton - McLaren-Mercedes
3) Felipe Massa - Ferrari
4) Giancarlo Fisichella - Renault
5) Robert Kubica - BMW
6) Nick Heidfeld - BMW
