Comments and Discussion
Why is Practice on Thurday this year then?
Monaco has always had its practice sessions on thursday so they can open the streets to the public again on the friday.
I thought it was just a tradition that they missed Friday, I don't think the streets are opened. The GP2 feature race is on Friday so I wouldn't fancy driving around the place.
There were some rather smart F1 cars from the 1970's sliding the rear end out on track last week, during the historic event. See in this clip also, the chunky bollards at the Nouvelle Chicane! They've put some after the swimming pool too.
