The race will be amazing to watch. Rosberg has to prove that he is still a championship contender and cant afford to play Hamilton's bitch in his own backyard. Hamilton is super pissed that Rosberg is in front of him on the grid and will probably do anything to get the better of his pole sitting teammate. Daniel Ricciardo is looking to take the Red Bull team from his world champion team mate and make it his own, and a good showing here will go a long way to further this goal. Vettel is keen to show up his younger team mate (who has outdriven Vettel in most of this year's races) on the biggest stage in F1. The Alonso and Kimi show should be fun to watch as both have proven themselves to be monumentally quick around Monaco and both are looking to show that their year isn't over yet. Vergne is hoping to show that he is worthy of a seat in F1 by beating his younger teammant and should be capable of this as long as his bad luck doesn't bite him in the ass again. The rookies, Magnussen and Kvyat, want to show that they are capable of competing under the biggest spotlight in F1. Perez should be interesting to watch as he attempts to move past the rookies in front of him in the first few laps. Bottas, Massa, and Hulkenberg are looking to move through the field to make up for poor qualifying. Grosjean is also looking to move forward after a poor showing in qualifying and is also looking to make up for last year's mistakes. Maldonado has been looking good this weekend, but with his tendency to be overcome by red mist in Monaco (and really everywhere else) look for him to cause an accident here. The battle of the backmarkers should make for good television as the aggressive driving style and talent of both Kobayashi and Bianchi means that the two drivers will be going wheel to wheel and toe to toe between the barriers.
