After Hamilton's pace in Spain and the probably lower, impact of DRS in Monaco, I reckon it'll be good for McLaren.

The picks you have entered are:

Winner: Lewis Hamilton

Second: Sebastian Vettel

Third: Jenson Button

Fourth: Mark Webber

Fifth: Fernando Alonso

Sixth: Michael Schumacher

Seventh: Nick Heidfeld

Eighth: Felipe Massa

Ninth: Kamui Kobayashi

Tenth: Vitaly Petrov

Pole: Lewis Hamilton

After studying previous Monaco results, throwing dice and doing a backflip (trying to anyway), here are my picks:

Winner: Mark Webber - strongest nerves

Second: Sebastian Vettel - fastest, but subject to mistakes

Third: Fernando Alonso - good grid position can mean big points

Fourth: Lewis Hamilton - probably a good circuit for McLaren

Fifth: Nico Rosberg - Mercedes back in the competition

Sixth: Vitaly Petrov - Expecting at least one Renault in the top 8

Seventh: Jenson Button

Eighth: Felipe Massa - Could be even higher

Ninth: Pastor Maldonado - Lucky draw or strong performance?

Tenth: Kamui Kobayashi

Pole: Fernando Alonso - After Barcelona, I expect Ferrari to go for it.

Fascinating that nobody thinks Vettel, with 4 wins and 1 second from 5 races, will win.

I am sure that there will be many many people backing Seb for a win this weekend but perhaps just not the ones that bother to post here.

Personally I have hedged my bets between Mark and Seb... hopefully will pay off but if Seb wins well I still do ok.

Mark won here last year so hoping he can get a good result again .... preferably another win!!!!!!

You guys may be hoping for more RBR on the top step, but I'm betting on Lewis to manage a trifecta this week: pole, win & fast lap! here's my full list, and I'm hoping to hoist myself up into the top 100 overall with them:

1. Lewis Hamilton, for the second time this year a chance to humble Seb
2. Sebastian Vettel, the car's too good not to podium
3. Fernando Alonso, if he can save the tyres!
4. Jenson Button, he'll be snipping at the red car's tail
5. Mark Webber, I expect him to be swamped at the start and never recover
6. Felipe Massa; he'll be doing the best that can be expected from the red sled
7. Nico Rosberg; the Merc is getting better, but not fast enough
8. Michael Schumacher; who would have guessed he'd be at the bottom of the top ten still
9. Nick Heidfeld will get all there is to get from the Renault
10 S. Perez; I'm very impressed with the kid and the Sauber

Pole: Lewis, of course, Hamilton

cheers and enjoy the race; I'll be deep in the Maine woods this weekend

RB will most probably run without Kers..........hmmm, a nice light car at Monaco.

Well it hasn't been working most of the time anyway... so don't think they will miss it.
I wonder how much difference it will make at Monaco anyway.

Oh, by the way, Webbo on pole by point 3 of a second to Hamilton.
It takes real men to be competitive around this place.
