Hi all, anybody here from BBC 606 may know me as WelshSportsFan.
With this being my first article I thought I'd talk a bit about Monaco next weekend.
After looking at photos of the Spanish Grand Prix on the BBC site, I looked at a picture with Hamilton in his car, and Rubber debris had just pebbledashed everything. Would this not cause up a worry about marbles next week?
Because Monaco is such a smaller track, with only 2 or 3 car widths of space, if a car is in a slipstream and the car in front chucks up an unusually big marble, couldn't we see a potential for injury?
Or would Pirelli have the solution to this by bringing a hard and medium tire to reduce marbles at the cost of speed?
Your thoughts?

Soft and supersofts on their way
Don't forget though that speeds are much lower at Monaco

I partially considered the lower speeds, im concerned about the road surface though, surely there is going to be a point where the rubber is just everywhere and drivers are going to be pelted with rubber behind any cars..
I fully expect a safety car at Monaco this year to be honest, the fastest speeds I think we will see this weekend will either be FP2 or Q2, because after those points I think there might just be too much rubber all over the track..

I was trying to get my head around the tyre wear for Monaco...slower track, but for this reason would it not make the hard tyres pretty useless (even more so than normal) as the drivers will struggle to get the heat in?

i can see problems this year with the pit lane.
Monaco is very tight and space down the pit lane is at a premium,and with teams doing a 3 or 4 stop's its going to be very intresting.
