you know mark what has really impressed me about you is the way you write your columns... (i donot no if its an interview or you write it). but unlike David coulthard (you might know him too), who uses his column unfairly to bash other drivers and justify his wrong doings, you don't do the same... i don't know whether u will ever read my message, but hats off to you for that... and i am really happy that u didn't mention (answer) david's accusation ( which were of course talking the sour grapes). I think u did the right thing my shrugging off his comments which donot carry any weight (after he is going to be forced into retirement next year)

By the way i have never been your fan, i have always admired and liked kimi, but you r in my view one of the top five in current formula1 drivers.

I have read what Mark has to say about how enthralling Monaco is to drive with some of the best corners in the world.
Does Mark realise that as a spectator on TV the Monaco Grand Prix is phenomenally dull. There is no over taking and any place changes are made during the pit stop. I very rarely watch the Monaco Grand Prix as you are just sat there waiting for crashes to happen. I wish it would be removed off the racing calendar

The reason they still race at Monaco is sponsorship.
30% of their sponsors come on board because of Monaco. It is the place to be seen. It is also around the same time as the Cannes Film Festival. Monaco = money.

I still think it's a real drivers circuit that separates the wheat from the chaff. Senna loved it and so does Lewis.

Great commentary Mark, as always – fascinating to read a driver's insights on the technicalities, politics, and experiences of an F1 competitor – must have something to do with you oz passion for sport. Already read enough about [Brits] Hamiltons and Buttons excuses and gripes about the Monaco track, not to mention Coulthards sideswipe during the week. Keep Racing! And all the best for the coming week-end ..

Mark,

How did you like playing catwalk model on the weekend and did you like the clothes? Even though to me your driving talent comes first and foremost, I have to say you looked very, very good :D

I hope you do really really well this year, I would really like to see you on the podium and I would absolutely love to see you win (although I suppose you want that even more than me!)

Hi Mark.. it says to ask if you have a "burning" question, so I always say with regards to your stint at Williams,remembering the race when hot air came through the seat, that Frank and Patrick were very lucky because at least they had a driver who knew when his arse was on fire. We haven't missed 1 race since your Minardi 5th on debut and are pleased to see how well you are going. The 4th at Monaco was for us nearly as good as a win. Well done!

Mark, I'm hooked. I've never been to a GP before but just managed to purchase some tickets for the standing area for my son and I. So it's pack the tent, spend Friday driving through France and pitch up bleary eyed for Saturday practice. We are looking forward to a great spectacle, enough from me; how are your preps going?
