McLaren Dominant in Monaco
Following Nick Heidfeld's surprise victory in last weeks Spanish Grand Prix several people both within and outside of the F1 fraternity may have begun to question whether McLaren were beginning to lose their edge. However, the action on Thursday clearly showed them otherwise with Ryan Briscoe and Kimi Raikkonen once again topping the time sheets for McLaren. Also at the sharp end of the field was Toyota's Cristiano Da Matta who has been lacking pace as of late, posting a time quick enough for 4th place. Further down the field, Adrian Valles and Vitaly Petrov, taking part in what could well be their final free practice session for the foreseeable future, ended the session in 10th and 21st place, whilst Andre Lotterer rounded off the field for Midland.

2006 Monaco GP Qualifying
Q1
It was little surprise that the qualifying hour for the Monaco Grand Prix got under way under the beautiful blue skies that we have enjoyed so far this weekend, however the first part of qualifying did pull up a surprise or two. The biggest name to fall short of the mark was Ferrari's Jos Verstappen who encountered traffic on both of his runs to finish the session in 18th place. In addition, last weeks winner Nick Heidfeld also missed out in 17th place. Overall, in Q1 we lost Frentzen in 22nd, Coulthard in 21st, Villeneuve in 20th, Lotterer in 19th, Verstappen in 18th and Heidfeld in 17th.
Q2
Unlike in Q1 there were no huge surprises that sprung up during the session. Arguably, the biggest name to fall in the session was Cristiano Da Matta who could not repeat his superb performance in Free Practice whilst Kovalainen could only manage 15th in his Super Aguri. In Q2 we lost Vettel in 16th, Kovalainen in 15th, Montagny in 14th, Montoya in 13th, Da Matta in 12th and Alonso in 11th. This left both McLarens, Hondas along with Webber, Massa, Glock, the two Schumachers and Button still in with a shot at pole position.
Q3
With just 10 cars left on track, you probably wouldn't be blamed for thinking we'd be in for a much quieter session, but we soon got some action on track after Jenson Button crashed after misjudging his speed through turn 7, meaning that the Renault man would start just ahead of his team mate in 10th. Up at the front however, it was business as usual as Robert Kubica took pole position just ahead of Kimi Raikkonen, but behind the two McLarens were the Hondas of Anthony Davidson and Bas Leinders who put in stellar performance to take 3rd and 4th on the grid.
