Webber on Pole at Monaco

Mark Webber has continued a great run of form as he claimed the pole position for the Monaco Grand Prix to be run tonight.

He outclassed his young team mate again to claim his third pole of the season to equal his team mate and ensure the Red Bull has taken every pole position this year. Rather than the slight edge of 1 tenth of a second over his team mate last weekend, this time around he went a full 4 tenths quicker than Vettel who only managed third on the grid. Renault driver Robert Kubica drove quickly to gain the second front row spot but Webber should have him covered in the run up to the first corner.  With the tight twist nature of the Monaco street circuit not favouring overtaking, let's hope Mark then simply pulls away from the field as he did last week in Spain.

Michael Schumacher was pipped by his team mate but by only hundreths of a second and is on the same row of the Grid. Significantly, Fernando Alonso crashed his Ferrari in practice and was unable to run thereby ensuring he starts from the back of the grid. His race is over before it starts and it will dent his championship challenge for a while to come, although he is a class act and can never be ruled out of the picture.

So, a great start to the weekend, Mark Webber on Pole at my outright favourite race of the year and looking to win and take over the lead in the championship, and Chelsea won the FA Cup to take their first ever double - the League title and the Cup in the same season. Truly awesome.

Think Long & Prosper
