The Pinnacle of Single Seater Motor Sport

2005 Ferrari F2005, just about to perform a spin-turn to join the queue for the start. Driven this weekend by Marc Gene:

2006 Williams-Cosworth FW28, driven during the weekend by Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg:


McLaren Mercedes MP4/20 and Gary Paffett:

2005 Renault R25 or 2006 R26? Too subtle for me. As well as many tyre-smoking runs up the hill over the weekend it could be heard playing the National Anthem with its engine note when on its stand in front of the house:

2005 Red Bull-Cosworth RB1. In only their third year David Coulthard achieved a podium in Monaco, surprising performance given the disappointing performance of Jaguar (I blame the Ford ownership) with all their resources:


2005 Toyota TF105, and Ricardo Zonta:


2006 BMW-Sauber F1.06, with Andy Priaulx:

By far the most memorable part of the whole weekend was getting this close to the cars as they were driven back through the paddock:
