F1 Quals: Monaco 2012
No. No no no no no. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. Here's the provisional grid for the 2012 Grand Prix of Monaco:
Good news! Slappy isn't on pole! Yes! YES! If you'll remember, he was penalized five grid spots for his Moooooo-ooove of the Race at Spain, when he drove into the back of Bruno Senna's Williams. For once, justice is served to Slappy, and it is served in heaping teaspoons of bile and spite... and it is AWSUM! Meanwhile, the winner at Spain, PratiprasthÄtr Maldonado, went insane during P3 and drove across the nose of Sergio Perez, much the same way he did to Lewis Hamilton last year. However, these extracurricular activities on Maldonado's part may have led directly to Perez wrecking in Q1 when it looked like his steering failed in the Swimming Pool. Maldonado was peanlized 10 grid spots.
The upshot of all this is that we've got a fine shot of having our sixth winner in six races on Sunday, as Mark Webber is promoted to pole, Lewis Hamilton to 3rd and Lettuce Grosjean to 4th. It'd take Lettuce winning to give us our sixth team winning as well, which I'm gonna guess is unprecedented in F1 history. How cool would that be?
Considering how this year has gone so far, I wouldn't bet against it happening. See ya tomorrow!

What have you got against Slappy? Don't you think it would be cool for an old man to win?

What have I got against Slappy Schumacher? The Internet doesn't have enough words for me to enumerate why I dislike him, Steven. Look, it's clear that I respect HWMNBN's driving ability while disliking him as a person, right? Slappy was HWMNBN before HWMNBN became HWMNBN... except I don't really respect his driving ability.
Oh, to be sure, he's a great driver, but a lot of his "talent" could also be called "getting away with sh*t". You know how I used to say "FIA" stood for "Ferrari Is All" or "Ferrari International Assistance"? He was the beneficiary of most of the FIA's help.
To be blunt, seeing him win again would be a great story, but I'd personally want to jump into a woodchipper if it happened.

The way you're talking about Slappy, I'd almost think he was a Packer...

I won't say this often, but he's worse. The Packers don't cheat.

Carnett, just continuing the joke from last year. Since we're all-inclusive here at The Pond, we change Maldonado's first name to a different religion's title every race. This time, it's a sub-priest of the Vedic religion.

Schumacher's cheating was legendary in its insolence. When he parked the car in qualification, for instance, Webber was very diplomatic and only said that "he heard that there were contrary steering inputs". The in-car camera actually captured in detail how exactly Schumacher did it.
