Depends on the tyres Pirelli choose to run at Monaco. The harder the compound the better it suits the Mercs.. or so i am lead to believe going by Sky's commentary.
Last year after Monaco Mercedes had a slow car with bad tyre wear. Now they have a fast car with bad tyre management. Some would say that's a step in the right direction. instead of concentrating on both speed and tyres thay can now just concentrate on tyres.
On the topic of tyres: Pirelli seems to be under fire and may build new tyres in time for the British GP.
I would welcome that move. At the same time it would be unfair to teams like Lotus and Ferrari that spent a lot of time and money developing their cars to handle the current tyres where others could not.
In that case I hope ( as some pundits predict ) that such a change would only aid teams like Lotus even more as their cars can manage their tyres better regardless of the compound.
