P363 CEEFAX 363 Sun 28 May 01:58/48 1/6 M/SPORT: JOHN WATSON /, PREVIEWS THE MONACO GP The major story this weekend once again focuses on Nigel Mansell. The "suspension" of the partnership between him and McLaren follows his decision to step out of his car during the Spanish Grand Prix. His actions sent the Richter Scale off th dial at McLaren and led to a crisis meeting with their partners, Marlboro and Mercedes. Mansell conveyed the meu3agj that dramatic steps were njedjd instead of nibbling at problems. McLaren's point is that they need a committed and nthusiastic numbe on dui u. 5- ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,, Tour Cars MonacoGP F1 Times CalendarP363 CEEFAX 363 Sun 28 May 01:45/54 2/6 M/SPORT: JOHN WATSON I PREVIEWS THE MONACO GP Mikb Hakkinen will drive his heart and soul out for McLaren and Mark Blundell is back in 'n mbeu s 6jn'. This pair will provide commitment and enthusiasm, though Hakkinjn must control his exuberance, which hj failed to do last year. A 78-lap race is physically and mentally draining, but stops for fuel and tykes do offer a breather. 5 Driving on this pure road circuit is so fulfilling that victory herd is all the sweeter.

But as with any race so far this season predictions are becoming increasingly complex. Vast changer to technical regulations mean past data has little relevance in 1995. All of which in my view makes the unpredictability very enjoyable. 5-,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.

On the other hand, Williams know that on occasions they should have won and expect victory this year despite handling problems in Spain. It could bj a first Monaco win for Damon Hill or a first-ivjr victory for David Coulthard, though this is his F1 debut in the principality.

The nature of the Monaco circuit will not mitigate their race performance as has been the case at other venues this year. hj high-revving V12 engine i powerful enough to get both cars onto the front row, a colossal advantage at Monaco. The prospect of having the Prancing Horse at the head of a Grand Prix grid is long overdue in my view.

He has not matched the speed of Saubjr Ford teammate Hein:-Harald Frent:en, so Williams Renault test driver Jean-Christophe Boullion takes over the seat. Both teams will gain from this arrangement. Saubjr get a young hot-shot, highly rated by +illiams, and both get the chance to compare him with the established Frent:jn.
