I wonder if any bookies do bets for the front 5 not changing places at all past the 2nd lap (excluding pits), Shouldn't imagine you'd get very good odds.

I managed to catch most of the race weekend and really enjoyed it.
Mark Webber deserves the acclaim he's currently receiving. A completely dominating drive, with no real worries and he even managed to pull out such a lead he exited from his pit stop back in the lead!
My favourite drive of the weekend goes to Kubica. He had been pushing the Renault hard and driving completely on the edge of the cars abilities. On board he was fighting the wheel more the than his position! The only real disappointment was that the time gap he was gaining on Vettel was nullified by the safety car bunching them back up. Then the Red Bull used its advantage and pulled away again.
Very unexpected failures too. Jensen's engine cover being left on reminded me of the time when a car was left on the grid with the jacks still underneath the car! Does anyone remember who that happened to? Both Williams going off was a huge blow, both caused by a mechanical or tyre fault as well.
Also I loved the few laps of fighting between Alonso and the back markers. It was a real spirited drive by those guys and Alonso sticking his hands out the Ferrari in frustration was brilliant! They were not just going to pull over, it was a fight for position but as Brundle pointed out, they were in different races.
On the commentary side I felt that Legard is really improving. He was more insightful to the history of the sport, gave some funny quips that had been said over the weekend and has stopped treating the coverage as a radio broadcast.
All in all, a great race. Monaco rarely disappoints.
