Alonso is looking tidy around Monaco today, second and first in the two sessions. Somebody needs to loosen a couple of sparkies.

Monaco is just impossible with a standard pad. I have yet to do 1 lap without a prang! let alone a sub 1min 20 sec

I haven't played an F1 game in years - but only because I find they are hugely addictive time sinks. Also a reason why I stopped playing GRID and Dirt 2.
It's probably time to invest in a new one to see how much they've changed.

It's interesting that the DRS system will likely have less of an impact at Monaco, and the Red Bulls don't look as strong in practice.
I await tomorrow's qualifying most eagerly.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Rosberg was very lucky not to hit that barrier head on.

Haven't seen it but getting the timing etc on an app and it reported the same, sounds like a lucky escape.

They can only activate it in the straight so I don't think it'll have any impact whatsoever really. Edit: I think I heard the prancers have also copied the bulls exhaust system and that's why they're looking pretty handy. LH and JB look to be in an ever improving car.

Ouch for Perez.
Hopefully LH can still get a decent lap in.

Yeah, I hope he's alright. ..or not, as it turns out. Still, JB is on the front row, and I fancy his chances, because the Red Bulls are only looking fast in quali; due to the unrestricted use of DRS.

Ok, I admit, I was wrong. DRS enabled LH to make a great move on MS. As for Button, he's flying and it seems to have completely caught Red Bull out. Messing up both of your drivers tyre changes is some going.  Edit: Now LH pitstop messed up. Are all the radios down or something?

Now LH is playing bumper cars, fool. Safety car.

Hopefully LH's mistake doesn't cost JB the race. 3 world champions fighting it out over 13 laps, most exciting Monaco GP I can remember. Edit: Major smash has probably handed it to Vettel. WTF?!? Red flag? Frakkin joking aren't they? WTH is happening?!? Edit: So it'll be restarting and they can change the tyres on Vettel's car. Game over then.
