It was the turn of the Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo today for the Formula 1 2010 championship and it was dramatic from the start with all the usual twists and turns we’ve come to expect of Monaco. With the Red Bull of Mark Webber in pole position could he hold his place and win for the second race in a row?

Webber started well and held his first place, while his teammate Sebastian Vettel, charged past Kubica into second place. The safety car had to come out very shortly after the start when in only Lap 1 Nico Hulkenburg in the Williams had to retire from the race after a crash in the tunnel.

In a bizarre twist with the safety car still out, on lap 2 Jensen Button’s McLaren gave up the ghost as a bung had been left in on the left-hand side of the car, leading the engine to cook, and he was also forced out of the race.

All that excitement and we were only two laps in. Lap 24 saw both Timo Glock and De La Rosa go out with car problems and then just as we were recovering from more drama, in Lap 31 Barichello took a nasty shunt after problems with his right rear wheel and yet another one bit the dust. All this time and Webber was still looking comfortable at the front ,even coming out in the lead after a pit stop.

By lap 73 it was Webber, Vettel and Kubica in that order, and it seemed as though a disaster would have to strike now if anything was to stop Webber. Then the safety car came out for the 4th time in the race as Trulli in the Lotus went over the top of Chandhok’s Hispania, and with only one lap to go it looked as though it would be out till the end. Eventually Webber became victorious taking the chequered flag, but in all honesty it never looked in any doubt today.
