The race the past weekend at Monte Carlo was a good race for all Ferrari fans. Though disappointed of not winning as a first place, they are now aware of all the possible strategies. I hope that the next race in Turkey, they could bring home the first place. Ferrari would have a hard time catching up on points from Brawn Mercedes, Red Bull, and other teams totaling more than 20 points. Let us all hope for the best this upcoming races.

The Grand prix is a great event held every year :
"
The Grand Prix is 78 laps on a 3.340 km (2.075 mi) circuit, which races around the narrow, winding streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine, which includes the famous harbour. It is unique in having been held on the same circuit every time it has been run over such a long period. The Circuit de Monaco is one of the most exciting in the world, with little room for driver error.
The course has had some minor changes several times during its history, to improve safety but is still considered the ultimate test of driving skill in Formula One, and if it were not already an existing Grand Prix, it would not be permitted to be added to the schedule for safety reasons.
One of the most notable features of the course includes the tunnel. The contrast of light and dark as the drivers enter/exit the tunnel are not faced elsewhere. The drivers have to adjust their vision as they emerge from the tunnel at the fastest point of the track and brake for the chicane in the daylight.
