Monaco is always a difficult race to predict because of the 50% chance of a safety car.

There are some interesting visitors today. Googles founder Larry Page is coming as a guest of Vodafone F1 online. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are expected on the boat next door to the one Jake Humphrey is hosting the BBC show on.
