Lame, wonder why it won't play nicely...

No chance of watching it on Channel 302? Freeview.

Its fine on there.

Where are all the bollards? They are just climbing all over the kerbs at the swimming pool!

Looks like they removed them. Massa hit one on Thursday and it ended up in the middle of the track before a marshal moved it. I guess they decided not to put it back.

Theres one at St Devote still, swimming pool one has gone.

I see Button and Raikkonen have finally woken up for the last practice session.

Bennah · 23 May 2009 at 10:57

Hamilton you tool.

PinkFloyd · 23 May 2009 at 11:02

Just caught the last few minutes.
Great to see the Ferraris and Mclaren looking much better, and then Alonso up there too

What has happened to Toyota :eek:

Watching it here but it's really jerky - same for anyone else? Does it in any browser but normal iPlayer stuff plays perfectly. Wondering if it's their end or my end and I can't switch to TV to check.

Yeah that feed was terribly stuttery and poor quality, even with 'high quality' selected. would have used freeview but wasn't sure if interactive works in VMC.

I think it was rubens that took them out on thurs.

Meh, he was just trying to get a decent run to start his lap. Not as if it did much good anyways, since he ended the session behind Kimi

Nice to see Heikki up there, and a fine showing from Alonso too.

Qualifying should be interesting.

I mean, if Monaco can manage it, then the other tracks can do so, with ease.

Remember - Monaco is a temporary structure, so they can always add a few more garages.

Most of the circuits on the F1 calender can hold 45+ cars.
