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

Winner: Lewis Hamilton
Second: Sebastian Vettel
Third: Jenson Button
Fourth: Mark Webber
Fifth: Fernando Alonso
Sixth: Michael Schumacher
Seventh: Nick Heidfeld

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.

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

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.
