Never before has the glamour sport seen six different winners in the first six races of a season and McLaren's 2008 world champion has yet to open his 2012 victory account going into his favorite race.
Hamilton, winner in the Mediterranean principality in his title year, has every chance of standing on the top step of the podium as well as chalking up McLaren's 150th pole after being denied it in Barcelona due to a fuel error.
British bookmakers William Hill have the 27-year-old Briton as their 3-1 favorite, with double world champions Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso both at 5-1 for Red Bull and Ferrari respectively.

Three investment groups have bought a 21 percent stake in Formula One from private equity firm CVC Capital CVC.UL for $1.6 billion ahead of the motor racing company's planned flotation in Singapore.
The deal sets a benchmark valuation of at least $7.6 billion for the company as financial advisers begin to target cornerstone and retail investors during the pre-marketing process of the IPO. The shares are expected to debut in June.

Milan, May 21, 2012 โ The softest compound in Pirelli's Formula One range โ the P Zero Red supersoft โ makes its first appearance of the year at the famed Monaco Grand Prix circuit: the slowest, tightest but also most prestigious race of the season. Alongside it, the P Zero Yellow soft has also been nominated.
With the street circuit relying almost exclusively on mechanical grip, it is ideal territory for the supersoft โ which benefits from a rapid warm-up time and is capable of generating very high levels of traction and cornering forces. This is particularly important during qualifying: with so few opportunities to overtake in Monaco, being as far up the grid as possible is even more important than usual. For the same reason, race strategy has a profound effect. It is often easier to make up positions in the pits through an effective strategy rather than by passing on the track. Tyre wear and degradation is the lowest seen all season, making a one-stop strategy a distinct possibility for some teams. As Monaco is a street circuit, there is a high degree of track evolution over the course of the race weekend, which lasts for one day longer than anywhere else as free practice takes place on Thursday with the circuit is open to normal traffic again for much of Friday. This consequently affects the amount of rubber that is found on the surface for qualifying.

As for the stock of F1 on the Singapore SGX.. I don't trust bernie so i wouldn't even dream of touching it.

Hope the Ferrari work well on the super softs and bring Alonso another win.
Announcement, the parking lot at Rascasse has been eliminated Michael, do not park there or pull any such stunt again.

I'm sure Schumi was very hot headed as a young driver too, heck as an older driver Schumi pulled that bone headed stunt of parking on a corner to slow down the drivers behind him. Hamilton isn't the first nor the last driver who will make mistakes but he is really good when he keeps his head on straight.

I'm rooting for Kimi to have a good race but who know if he'll be up for it with all the drinking/partying in the marina.
