THE ICE N RED FEVER!!!

Monaco - The tax haven in Europe was scorched by the ICEMAN. I've been and am still an avid of the KING MS ever since he started driving that Benetton with Jos Verstappen. But times are changing and so do people and their interests. Although I've followed Mclaren as much as i did Ferrari since 98.. I've been telling people that Mclaren are the only potential threat to the Ferrari Dominance. Incase if they get the right CAR - DRIVER combo. They had the best package in MIKA. The Flying Finn lost quite a few races.. but the way he drives.. can be compared only to MS. He was a flawless cold-eyed driver. Ever since he was replaced by KIMI.. i had a confidence that KIMI would scorch the tarmac if heis given the right car.

He proved it right in Monaco. Absolutely decimating performance. I am amazed at the simliarities these two FINNS have. Speaks less Drives more. He was impeccable. Alonso... move over... MP420 is gonna eat R25 out. I just hope the form of Mclaren continues in the future races also. The improved aerodynamics and tyre package did the job for Kimi in the heavily demanding streets of Monaco. The car wasnt twitching at all. He was flat out almost all the time. The ICEMAN needs one two more podium finishes to surpass Alonso in the driver standings.

Even then. as MS says.. its not over for the Fiorano Team. They got the cash.. they got the fastest car... they got the best driver... NO.. i would not agree MS lost his touch. Even the tyres were perfect in Monaco. The position of the ferraris in the start up grid made them look like two SU-30's stuck in front of a F14 TOMCAT. They will bounce back. That much is for sure. Even though KIMI destroyed the track with the fast lap in 1:16's MS was able to do 1:15's on an empty track before being caught up in the traffic.

Redbull's werent looking like they came to race. They were more into promoting STARWARS. Even though Coulthard is considered for a possible podium finish before being rammed in the front by the ARMCO STEEL and MS's F2005... i am sure the F2005 would've gone past the redbull. Rubeno too... had the perfect car. He was able to hold Montoya until the pits. If the car hadnt stalled and he lost his pitlane limiter, he would've stayed in front.

Both the cars finished and the scarlet team managed to salvage 3 points. But from now on, there is going to be a tough fight between Mclaren and Ferrari. And since i like them both... let the best win.

As for the Renaults.. you have been measured.. you've been weighed... you've been challenged... and man.. pressure cripples the French i guess!!! Wait till Nurburgring!!! the infamous Nurburgring hairpin would experience some rubber burns for sure from the KING and the ICEMAN!!!
