Monaco GP, Renault takes pole, Schummi 4th
Trulli takes his first pole in his F1 career. Ralph Schumacher takes second but since he changed engines he is set back 10 oplaces so actually Button starts 2nd and Alonso 3rd 
Schummi could only do 4th and will have a tough time in this race since the BAR and Renault have a good setup for this "track" and its almost imposible to pass during this race so the race wil be won with consistent fast lap times and impecable pitstop startegy.
My bets are on Alonso and Button, Truli is fast in qualifying but can't sustain the race pace of Alonso. Renault's launch is the best so Alonso being right behind Truli in the start grid, he won't have anybody blocking his way in the launch, as usually happens and then has to play catch up along the course of the race. In the last race Alonso made up 16 seconds over Truli once he had open road at the end of the race and with 3 laps to go was ordered by the pit to slow down because they did not want and risks since Alonso would of caught Truli and would of tried passing him for the win. But Button is very fast too along with Schumi of course. But here Ferrari won't have a Ferrari in the lead to play the hold up the rest while the other makes the pit stop startegy.
The McLaren are getting more competitive, and Kimi will start 5th while Montoya 9th
Anyway this wil be the most competitive race since the start of the season

this guy needs to screw up somebody in every race or what, that looks to be his only role in his mediocre F1 career. Next time I hope he at least remembers that when being lapped by a faster driver, you are supposed to move aside to the OUTSIDE and not to the inside leaving the bad-toughest line and dirty part of the track to the driver behind to try to pass.... right when Alonso was catching Trulli 
It's the least one can do for one's fellow F1 drivers! 
Just because Ralf puts his foot down again before the other guy has really got past.
