News briefs from Monaco: Sunday – I

(GMM) Cora Schumacher shared her husband's misery on Saturday after Ralf was even outqualified in his Toyota by the usually-backmarking Spyker of countryman and rookie Adrian Sutil.

"At the moment nothing is going right," Schumacher's wife said in Monaco.

"To be completely honest, I am missing the words to talk about it."

Monaco stewards on Saturday clarified that David Coulthard will start Sunday's grand prix from thirteenth on the grid; not eleventh, as the post-qualifying timing screens indicated, or sixteenth, as indicated by official FIA documents.

The Red Bull driver was barred from participating in the 'Q3' shootout after blocking Heikki Kovalainen in the last corner.

Sunday will be a cooler, cloudier and windier day in Monte Carlo, with a 50 per cent chance of rain for the start of the race at 2pm.

Predictably, with pole position, Fernando Alonso is hoping for a dry race, but Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen wants wild weather following a qualifying error that has left him fifteenth on the grid.

"The race? That depends on the weather," said the Finn.

"If it is dry it is so difficult to overtake, if it is wet it is not so bad."
