He rejoins in 11th. He is probably going to stay out for a long time and have a very short final stint on the super softs

Yahoo/Eurosport had this gem of a quote from Renault's Nelson Piquet, Jr., who crashed out of the race earlier.............
It's a pity because it was clear that everyone was queuing behind Vettel - then the young driver behind me ran into me. I don't know what he was thinking: at Monaco you have to be careful, it is a long race. My start was perfect and I had a perfect strategy: I had a long first stint to do on the hard tyres - if everything had worked out I was going to finish seventh.

Kubica pits and retires

Hamilton who started in 19th is up in 15th place and has the super softs out of the way. He should finish higher
