Just take it easy and hope for some standard Monaco chaos.... "And Blackhander crosses the line and collects McLaren-Honda's first points of the year..."

Haha that or I'll teach even maldonado a thing or two about crashing
Maybe you'll be the reason for the chaos and win by virtue of your own ineptitude.
Hasn't Button already been confirmed now though?

Any other GP and I would consider Button a shoe in, but as ha is the Mclaren Honda Ambassador, he has a lot of commitments on behalf of Mclaren and Honda that week end so maybe more beneficial to them not to let him race.
He is a nice well respected guy, ex world champ that speaks well in English and Japanese so will be a huge asset to the team if he does not have to commit to the race. At best, he will get a point or two if in the car, so where is the "value" to McHonda?
I dont know about this one

One name tweeted was Alex Rossi
But that does not look on now.
Considering why McLaren have an open seat at Monaco, whoever tweeted Alex Rossi's name as a replacement is an idiot.
It was Jo

If / when Jenson Button races in Monaco, it should rain as well. Hopefully, he creates magic with that lawnmower of a car!

As much as I'm looking forward to seeing JB out there, it'll probably break down on the formation lap.

If it does I hope he pulls a Kimi and just strolls straight onto a yacht and has a beer.

I hope the car can get to the end. It's kinda cool he's got a chance to have a do over for his last race.

I'm kind of hoping there is a freak race and he nabs a podium then for the rest of the season the McLaren can only score small points and he ends up winning the three-way team mate battle.
