Well, a forgone conclusion in terms of victory in Monte Carlo with 28 laps left. But it was an exciting Monaco GP.

Monaco Top 8
1: Alonso
2: Montoya
3: Coulthard (yup, his 1st podium since Japan 2003 and Red Bulls 1st podium. What chance team boss Christian Horner live up to his bet?)
4: Barrichello (Drive-through cost him 3rd)
5: M.Schumacher (Fights back through the order to the points)
6: Fisichella (Pulled some banzai moves to 6th)
7: Heidfeld
8: R.Schumacher (Small consolation for Trullis demise from 3rd)

Retirements
17: Trulli (Drive fault)
18: Klien (Gearbox failure, another who potentially couldve been on the podium)
19: Rosberg (Stuck throttle + Monte Carlo = crash in barriers)
20: Raikkonen (Engine failure under safety car)
21: Webber (Engine failure robbing him of a podium and outside chance of victory)
22: Sato
