Although this year's Monaco Grand Prix was
fairly processional at the sharp end of the pack, as "Brittany," aka
Nico Rosberg led virtually from wire-to-wire, much to the chagrin of team-mate
Lewis Hamilton, nevertheless, there was plenty of action further down the grid,
most notably between the F1 Minnows, nee Marussia and Caterham.
Thus it was overly impressive for Marussia's
Jules Bianchi to come home in eighth place in his home Grand Prix, having
grown-up just down the countryside in Nice.
As it was funny hearing NBCSN's Professor
Steve Matchett blathering on 'N on over how he didn't understand how Bianchi's
Marussia wouldn't be disqualified for ignoring a supposed Black flag, as
although the 24yr old Frenchman who'd receive two penalties would ultimately be
classified ninth, scoring his and the team's debutant F1 points - as
incredulously Marussia currently leads Sauber in the Constructor's points
standings; YIKES!
Thus, naturally talk now focuses upon Bianchi
jumping up the order to a better team, as it's funny how he's been one of my
three F1 movers 'N shakers for quite awhile now, along with Nico Hulkenberg and
Valtteri Bottas.
Great Job Jules!
