No room for friendship as Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton battle for the title

Only Nico Rosberg can truly know whether his mistake during qualifying for the Monaco GP was deliberate or not.

For the rest of us on the outside, it's become brilliant viewing. The rivalry between Nico and Lewis is what the fans want to see. There's always plenty of interest in the cars, the technology and the lifestyle, but what people really care about is the drivers. Just look at the amount of debate the Monaco weekend has already generated. It has stirred the emotions and passions - and that's exactly what sport ought to be doing. Meanwhile, congratulations to Marussia for scoring their first and well-deserved points in a chaotic race. There were some clumsy overtakes which reminded us that the brake-by-wire systems are still relatively immature, and a few other silly mistakes. Fernando Alonso was curiously anonymous for a second consecutive year in Monaco, which is odd for a two-time winner. And Daniel Ricciardo continues to dominate Sebastian Vettel, who somehow just stopped himself from totally blowing a fuse on the pit radio. Pete Bonnington, Lewis's engineer, probably wishes Hamilton had a slightly longer fuse as Pete seems to be damned if he does get on the radio and damned if he doesn't. Mind you, we all have to respect and remember that when we get angry and curse, we don't have a few hundred million people listening to us as we dance an F1 car around the streets of Monaco...
