"We cannot choose but pray, to Ross Brown cooked up!" It was words of Michael Schumacher after Saturday's qualification. He went till 6. time. Even, that his brother Ralph was on the score of exchanges motor moved about ten places to the back. He could start at least from second rows. Who wants but in Monte Carlo win, has to be in first row. And there stood Trulli (Renault) and Buton (BAR). From start dominated Renaults. Allonso but on second place crash in tunnel and much angers on Ralf, that him sent to crash barrier. And about 4 circuits later Michael Schumacher late obstructs on departure from tunnel behind deceleration car and Montoya, which hasn't in habit skew - and before Michael already not any - he don't give him enough place. Schumacher ends too on crash barrier and blames for a change Montoya. For win then commutes TRULLI at his 119. start. V finish him stately drew up Buton and zoomed across end about less than half second behind him. It was from both confirmation this year's form. Till on 3 . places rescued Ferrari reputation Barrichello before Montoya. It was only second win Italian in Monte Carlo in terms of WC F1. Thereby first has been Ricardo Patrese before 22 years, when most of rivals, who were before him , ran dry petrol. Italian won still in the year 1952 ( unknown Marzotto), but this race wasn't part of WC, as well as win of Giuseppe Farina 1948, when WC still not rode. And concerning Renault , was it in general first win in Monaco. A so at last after 6. race of WC Michael Schumacher unregistered win not even marks. Nothing it however don't change on his sovereignty. He conducted always in through qualification with 50 points before Barrichello(38) and Buton(32). Continued incredible crisis of team McLaren. Both his racers didn't finish again. Prove he still this year recover?
