With the cars having bottomed out a lot at the Turn 16 apex, with the kerb lower than the track itself, race organisers are now re-profiling the kerb to make it higher. This should prevent drivers from being encouraged to cut the corner too much.

errr surely with it being lower and causing them so much hassle... THAT would prevent them from cutting the corner too much.. now it will just be another corner to cut...

The FIA has also agreed that the track surface will be extensively cleaned overnight to try and get rid of the dust that was dragged onto the track during the free practice sessions.

Byebye rubber laid down on Friday then? hello green track again?

Webber has decide to use his 8th engine.

Strange drivers complaining of the track dipping at turn 16. I thought the track was between the white lines?

TF110 · 22 Oct 2010, 21:41 (Ref:2778548)

The fastest way around is to use the curbing. If you race at all or pay attention to racing, you should know this.

If that was a concrete wall I bet they wouldn't be cutting the corner. Its about time the white lines actually stood for something. If the run off at Sears for example gets any bigger the circuit will be in the next county.

According to Eurosport 'many of the team mechanics are staying in brothels due othe lack of accomodation, some being offered girls for the week and some finding piles of used condoms in their rooms'

Great!

Does anyone else have a concern about those last 2 turns Are they really safe? I think Vettel's backmarker incedent in FP1 could happen several times in the race, which will be a real 'block' to the layout. ('scuse the pun, I'm serious).

If Monaco is safe enough to run, those corners are.

There's not much point in using the kerbing (sic) if it's going to damage the car. That's why they've been working overnight on Turn 16.

If your laptops have a built in display adapter, you should be able to hook them up to the plasma screens, provided you have the cable.

Holy crap that pit entry is wild..

Some of the drivers aren't too happy about it:

If there's a slow moving car coming into the pits they'll have to be on the ball and wave yellows, corner is pretty much blind...

**bjohnsonsmith** · 23 Oct 2010, 02:40 (Ref:2778642)

I'm watching practice now and coming up to the pit entry is mad, no room for error.

Yep. I can just see in the race one of the front runners running into a slow moving car or car thats slightly off line...:S

Looks like the tracks lost some grip over night.

I hope your wrong, the pitlane entrance would not be the best place for an accident. As for the track it doesn't seem to have rubbered in too well, then again it is green but I think a little too green from what the BBC guys are saying. They were talking about 'tears' of oil seeping through to the track surface.

Going to be a case of who finds the most grip + tyre managment..Looks like it could be a two stopper..

Kubica looking pretty hooked up in the Renault...Vettel nearly put it into the wall in the last sector..lucky

Kubica's running well. I missed Vettel, nearly going into the wall, the BBC feed keeps dropping and now it's ended; that was a bit sudden.

I better get some sleep. Roll on qualifying.

Grandpa_Rob · 23 Oct 2010, 03:13 (Ref:2778656)

This track is extreme to say the least Quali is going to be great.

AUSRSR · 23 Oct 2010, 03:35 (Ref:2778663)

Yeah I think it'll be a can of worms type session!

Thanks, yes, but as discussed the BBC thinks our IP is somewhere in Europe... However if I was unscrupulous I could change it

Anyway that was a good session, the onboard shots with Kubica towards the end were marvellous, you can see the boys been rallying last weekend.

tux · 23 Oct 2010, 04:32 (Ref:2778673)

Its great to finally have a qualifying session where someone other than Red Bull could take pole. Mclaren need to get this session right.

Matt · 23 Oct 2010, 04:40 (Ref:2778675)

I wanna see Ol' Bob take it.

AUSRSR · 23 Oct 2010, 05:26 (Ref:2778685)

Usual suspects through to Q2, Liuzzi didn't make it through though. Jenson struggling with grip on the prime tyre.
