I agree, but I classify the skills and concentration aspect as parts of being smooth. You can't overpower Monaco, you have to be precise and not get ahead of yourself. Something which i believe Montoya was doing the majority of the weekend.
As for Jaguar, I think Irvine's pace was excellent, as he was only 1/2 minute (approx.) behind at the finish. And as we know Monaco is not an engine track, so I would hazard to say that the Jaguar chassis showed well.
As for Bernoldi R, I don't rate him highly enough to think that he wasn't helped by the tight confines of Monaco and traction control. I would like to see him do it without trax and see if he could be as smooth with Coulthard all over his gearbox.
