lol @ Kobiyashi power sliding it round the corner

Witor · 15 May 2010 at 10:41

Fingers crossed. Not my fav driver but i'd rather a competitive race than him start from the pits.

Kobayashi losing it at Rascasse, then doing a donut to point in the right direction

Massa now doing a good job of trying to join Alonso at the back of the grid

Witor · 15 May 2010 at 10:44

Alonso's car is back, theyve begun to work on it (according to Marc Gene)

Stormrider · 15 May 2010 at 10:47

EJ is pure class

Doesn't matter what anyone says about racing at Monaco.. if I'm in car going round the track it's still absolutely amazing.

The nose cam from Massa was very interesting!

Witor · 15 May 2010 at 10:51

Yup. Looks like he was struggling, infact pretty sure he grazed the wall just out of turn 14/swimming pool.

Good FP3 session, can't wait for qualifying. Kubica was awesome.

Interestingly MSC faster than ROS again. I haven't heard much about ROS all weekend so far.

Ah chuff. Is FP3 going to be on iPlayer? Missed it and it seems it was worth watching!

Witor · 15 May 2010 at 11:07

I'd say it was watching, as for iplayer, not sure mate.

Lunatic Dreyfus · 15 May 2010 at 11:07

He's not a favourite of mine, but Kubica was superb. The Renault was getting a serious workout round Monte Carlo. :cool:

Qualifying 1 will be entertaining.

gord · 15 May 2010 at 11:07

Qualifying is going to be insane..

Massive damage to the car

Quite a large rebuild job - watching the rear wheel come off with the driveshaft still attached. They won't get the car back until a good few minutes after FP3 finished either.

Just utterly awesome. He's not living up to the expectations that he set in the couple of races he did last year - but at points he's certainly entertaining.

Can't really call him a chav as he's got more cash than all chavs added together - but he's in the same genetic pool.

It's been at the Ferrari garage for a good 30 mins now according to Marc Gene. Gives em what?...another hour and a half, 2 hours working on it, massively talented engineers? It's going to be a close call for the Fonz.

New chassis for Alonso apparently, so looks like pit lane start on Sunday!

Witor · 15 May 2010 at 11:57

Off James Allen:

"#f1 Confirmed that Alonso will not qualify, will use a new chassis in race and therefore must start from pit lane on Sunday"

Shame for him.

Surprising, as they have to take the car on a truck back around the track as there isn't much in the way of access roads and won't do that until the track is completely clear and all sessions stopped.

Say 12:10 local - Going to be a bit stressful for them.

[edit]

Tub broke?! Aaaaaahahahahahahahaha!

Sportsman's bet time: I think they will fix it, in time for qualifying.

Lets wait and see what happens.

Looks like we were both wrong sunama. Ah well, wasn't the first time, won't be the last.
