Nice one, Jonny!  Grats on the win.  Super recovery by Clive Loynes to take P2 but that must taste rather sour as the win was within his grasp.  Leo a good job in the Ferrari to claim P3.  Well done, gys.

A fine P6 pour moi but only thanks to some rather fragile engines in my competitors rides.  Poor Clay and Phil didn't last long at all and in checking my replay cap, I saw Yannick's shifter difficulties which must have sent the revs on his Maser 6-banger into six digits.  Groan...  I recall reading a race report from Monaco back in the 60's where somebody had the misfortune of the car's gear linkage go awry and select two gears at once.  Similar results, I expect.

Made a couple of gaffes along the way including a lurid slide off the road that cost a bundle but didn't figure in the final placings.  Happy just to get the little French puddle-jumper home in one piece.
