Armco

Don't think I have heard the word armco so much in a short period of time.  How do you spell it, what does it actually mean??  29/5 just researched and I got the spelling right!  Also quite like www.armcodirect.co.uk

Lap 3 - Jenson out :-(  car seemed to blow up.  We've already had a safety car out in first lap after Hulkenberg lost it in the tunnel - into the armco!  Phewph!  Still out on Lap 4.

I'm watching this at 9pm at night having been out during the day and managing to avoid hearing result.  It's exciting that it's still light outside!

Lap 9 - Alonso crashed in free practice yesterday and damaged the car so much that he couldn't take part in quali, but was fixed to start from pit lane today.  He is all over the back of the little teams which is entertaining to watch, but it's Monaco so good luck!  (rereading 2 weeks later and realise this is the first mention that we are in Monaco, weird!  Am kinda tempted to removed the reference to see if people realise - surely the talk of the barriers and tunnel especially would enlighten most F1 followers.  Plus I'm about to put photos on so will hopefully give it away!) They have mentioned DC and Bernoldi which I remember well.

Lap 10 - got Di Grassi into the Nouvelle Chicane.  Smooth.

Lap 18 - fascinating bit of strategy.  Hamilton is the first of the front runners to pit and he has just emerged in front of Alonso who is charging up.  Alonso pitted in safety car so neither need to stop again.  So basically they are set for the race now.  Nice bit of covering by McLaren?

Lap 31 - sign signifies that safety car deployed but momentarily didn't know why.  Then see Reuben's Williams facing wrong way in middle of track missing some bits and wheels.  Car seemed to lose something and he bounced along track ricocheting off barriers.

Lap 33 - SC in - those marshals are good.

Lap 43 - well, that's a new one.  SC deployed again and again couldn't tell who it was.  Jonathan started counting through the cars you could see and then the notice came up 'drain cover loose at turn 3'.  Not sure what anyone's done but SC going in again!

The harbour - the yachts tell you your in Monaco
Best shot in the F1 calendar - love that hairpin
 Nice aerial shot.
Lap 76  so i fell asleep for what am guessing was about 20 laps!!  Weber won.

I screenshot a lot during the race but now 2 weeks later can't quite remember which were the good ones - missed quite a lot of the shots i was going for ;-)  actually, just looked and there are some fairly good ones.  will try add in along the post.
