The cars are significantly slower than they have been for many years, and we've already seen the slow teams causing problems in qualifying. Monaco is not the best track to be doing a flying lap on, and then discover a Lotus, or Virgin coasting along trying to get out of the others way. Looks like we more or less agree here guys, whats going on?

At first I was clearly in the Arrows camp and though the idea was ridiculous as backmarkers are always part of the sport. But the more I got to think about it the more I think senna's idea strangely makes sense.

but here are my issue
1. 6 cars running by themselves have an opportunity to stay out of trouble and avoid traffic qualms the other 18 cars would experience.
2. If something were to happen in the main qualy that made it impossible to improve ones time, then it would be an unfair advantage to the 6
3. the weather is a great equalizer as we have already seen. If it rains then there really is no telling who makes it to Q2 be it a lotus or a mclaren
4. If there was one track where a relatively slower car can sort of shine or make up time it would be at monaco. The issue would be less about speed and more aobut handling and bravado. I think the virgin might actually do well at monaco. I also think that kovy and trulli might push their cars well at the track as well.

so in the end I am against it, but won't go nuts if it does happen. I can see their thinking , but the time difference between 1st and 24th should not be as dramatic as in other races
