FORMULA 1 GRAN PRIX DE MONACO 2010
Provisional Results
Mark Webber wins a perfectly driven race from pole, making two in a row and catching up to team mate Vettel.
The Red Bull duo share the driver's Champisonship lead. Sebastian Vettel makes a superb start and catches
front row man Robert Kubica by surprise, overtaking him as they entered St. Devote. Bar that lapse by Robert,
he drove very well, for a well deserved third spot and podium in the very prestigious Monte Carlo race. Fernando
Alonso with a fast thinking reaction after the lap 2 crash by Nico Hulkenberg, pits very early, switching to the
harder compound tire and makes up for his practice crash to finish in sixth place, allowing him to keep a three
point gap from the Red Bull drivers in third place in the championship. Jenson Boutton's Mercedes engine expires
in lap 2 and strands him in fourth spot in the Championship. Lewis Hamilton early tire change allowed him to keep
his position ahead of Alonso in 5th. behind Massa who manages 4th. Schumacher finally out-foxes team mate Rosenberg
and finishes 6th ahead of Rosberg in 7th. Adrian Sutil makes a similar maneuver on teammate Liuzzi for 9th and 10th
respectively, and last points earners.

2010 Formula One World Driver Championship Standings
After 6 races
Mark Weber is the second driver to win two races, and in his case the wins are in a row. Sebastian Vettel quick start
in today's race allows him to tie the Championship with his teammate at 78. Alonso's superb drive from dead last into
5th spot keeps him within striking distance of the leaders, 3 points in arrears. Jenson Button's engine demise in lap 2
strands him in 4th place with 70 points. Felipe Massa continues with his winning-less season thus far but consistent 'in
the points' finishes gives him 5th with 61 pts., barely ahead of his (suspected) replacement Robert Kubica whose performances
with an inferior car continues to impress right behind with 59 tied with McLaren's Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg's consistent
top ten finishes keeps him within reasonable distance of the leaders at 54. Team mate former seven times World Champion
Schumacher beginning to rise above "the rest", but still a distant 9th spot with 28 points... followed by the two Force India
drivers, Sutil and Liuzzi with 18 and 9 points respectively. Rubens Barrichello's accident in Monte Carlo dropped him out
of the points in today's race and freezes him in 12th with 7 points... followed by Russian Petrov with 6. Jaime Alguersari
and Nico Hulkenberg close the point earners with 3 and 1 respectively.
Yes, Red Bull is tied for the lead in the 2010 Championship. Very impressive for the young Austrian team
