F1: Mark Webber wins fast paced Grand Prix of Monaco from the pole.

What do you think? 
Well, the checkered flag is in the air and the 2012 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix is in the record books and it wasn't much to write home about. Sure the sights and sounds of Monaco and near by Monte Carlo is always spectacular to see, but this fast paced race was nothing short of tight follow the leader and an opening lap incident. 

These Formula 1 racecars were very evenly matched and nobody could really make any on track passing especially upfront. It would be strategy that would be the big winner today as Vettel would make his way from outside the top 10 into the top 4 with tire strategy, but it would be the pole-sitter leading most of this one and picking up the victory in the Monaco Grand Prix. 

Personally I was really hoping the rain that was heavily talked about throughout the race broadcast on SPEED was going to make more of an impact. Rain and Monaco make for a action-packed race, but no dice. And neither did my fantasy picks for that matter that I locked in before Saturday qualifying with Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton. You win some, you lose some, see you next year Monaco.
