Winners:

Alonso- reasserting himself as the boss in the pack

Hamilton- put off some hot laps and really pressed Alonso at times. Unfortunately, he wasn't as technically superb as Fernando

Scott Speed- With his job on the line, he put on a strong showing, wading through the pack

Losers:

Raikkonen- Besides a great start aided by a superior TC system compared to his bracket rivals, Raikkonen was a huge no-factor, unable to surpass Button...Interesting comparison between Raikkonen's 07 Monaco and Schummacher's 06 Monaco. The King clearly hasn't been replaced

Rosberg- What happened to my dark horse

Webber- He seems to do well in Monaco but his car didn't allow him the opportunity

now on to North America!
