Heidfeld didn't even make Q3. He was 1.3 seconds off of fastest in Q2. All this talk of how BMW was going to make a run for its first win a Monaco now rings hollow. BMW clearly has a ways to go to challenge McLaren for 2nd best. At least it doesn't appear any other team is pushing BMW for 3rd best at this time. I watched the practice on Thursday and the BMWs were about 5 Km slower than the Ferraris in the speed trap. Until this can be addressed, they will languish in 3rd I am afraid.

PS: Heidfeld is going from bad to worse. I for one, as a team leader, would dump Heidfeld in 2009. He had the chance to shine but all the time he managed to perform as a mediocre pilot.

Kubica takes second when all in front had problems. Wow, I usually don't think much of Monaco past the qualifying, but today was quite an adventure. This puts him back in the points battle.
