Monaco Grand Prix - Free Practice Three

3rd & 7 37yd

Hello and welcome to ESPN's live coverage of third and final practice for the Monaco Grand Prix. Did you miss us?

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 8:43:26 AM
This morning is the first time we'll see the all-important qualifying simulations on the supersoft tyre after the rain-affected FP3 on Thursday.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 8:43:35 AM
Hello Nate! Hows the weather for FP3 and Qualy?

by Pavan 5/23/2015 8:51:37 AM
@Pavan: It's a bit overcast but no really dark clouds forming in the distance like there were on Thursday afternoon.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 8:52:30 AM
I'm ready. My view is a good one. Can we get this show on the road? http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFrbHzlXIAEkhkP.jpg

This tweet from Manor looks interesting...

And on a sombre note from Force India this morning...

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 8:54:16 AM
We will carry this message on the VJM08 as a tribute to our friend and colleague Charlie, who is no longer with us. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFraDBxW0AAjOcO.jpg

Go KIMI & Vettel !!

by Fényország 5/23/2015 8:54:44 AM
really curious to see the shots from stevens helmet cam

by craig 5/23/2015 8:56:28 AM
Is it true that Force India B-spec car failed the crash tests or just rumours?

by Pavan 5/23/2015 8:56:33 AM
@Pavan: I haven't heard those rumours. Certainly we've heard nothing to suggest that would be true.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 8:56:48 AM
Hi Nate. Sunny 30C here in Crete. What is the forecast for today

by Roger the Cabinboy 5/23/2015 8:57:42 AM
@RogertheCabinboy: Air temperature is currently 18 degrees, track 23 degrees. The teams seemed pretty confident there would be no rain today but it's always difficult to predict with those mountains around.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 8:58:11 AM
Hi Nate, are you expecting any surprises today?

by Luke h 5/23/2015 8:58:53 AM
@Lukeh: Very excited to see what Verstappen and Sainz can do.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 8:59:01 AM
Worth noting those two were probably on very limited fuel when they did those impressive FP1 laps but still, it gives us something to look forward to.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:00:07 AM
The lights go green and Ricciardo and Sainz lead a big train of cars out on track.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:00:23 AM
I imagine we'll see lots of running this morning - the teams are yet to drive on the supersoft tyres this weekend and only have an hour this morning, rather than the hour and a half afforded to them in FP1 and FP2.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:01:16 AM
I miss your old website :(

by Pavan 5/23/2015 9:01:37 AM
@Pavan: We're still working on ways to improve the re-designed site, which includes bringing in some of the old website's features. It definitely looks a lot nicer, though!

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:02:17 AM
As @Jamesallenonf1 states, #Quali is all important for the #MonacoGP! Which driver can make it count? #UBSF1Strategy http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFrdLauUIAAu9XO.jpg

to be honest so do I

by piet pompies 5/23/2015 9:02:57 AM
@pietpompies: Well, hopefully Laurence and I are enough to keep you coming back!

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:03:10 AM
Sainz sets the first timed lap of the morning, a 1:23.987.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:03:25 AM
Perez sets a 1:21.129 to take P1. Verstappen also gets ahead of team-mate Sainz.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:04:10 AM
Hulkenberg finishes four seconds off Perez with his first lap but that was a classic example of what makes Monaco so difficult. Grosjean backed off because he was too close to Alonso and ended up forcing Hulkenberg to back off from his lap.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:05:13 AM
Hamilton straight out in the supersoft tyre and sets a 1:19.074.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:05:23 AM
Who says you can't overtake at Monaco? They did in Formula-e.

by IanAU 5/23/2015 9:05:45 AM
@IanAU: Those cars just didn't look right at this circuit.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:05:57 AM
Your old website offered so much more though. Then new one is just graphically nicer

by AusAdam 5/23/2015 9:06:05 AM
@AusAdam: As I said, we're trying to bring back some of the features that made the old website so popular.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:06:38 AM
Kvyat has put himself into P2, 1.054s down on Hamilton but on that yellow-striped soft tyre.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:06:53 AM
Hamilton is absolutely flying on those supersoft tyres and he shaves 1.5s off his benchmark.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:07:54 AM
Red 5 standing by?

by mfbull 5/23/2015 9:07:56 AM
He does look more like Skywalker than the Marlboro Man.

by mfbull 5/23/2015 9:07:57 AM
Hamilton clearly fully focussed on this afternoon's qualifying session.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:08:20 AM
@Nate : Foemula-e cars never seem to look right, on TV at least. Sort of out of place?

by IanAU 5/23/2015 9:08:35 AM
@IanAU: Yep. That's one of the hardest challenges faces the series, I would say.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:08:55 AM
Feel sorry for you Nate. Keep getting hammered over a corporate decision you have no say in.

by RCC 5/23/2015 9:08:57 AM
Rosberg responds to Hamilton's supersoft lap but is four tenths down on his Mercedes rival. He appeared to cross right behind Ericsson's Sauber, so potentially he got held up slightly

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:09:37 AM
Still no site of either McLaren or either Ferrari.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:09:45 AM
"No front grip whatsoever!" complains Ericsson. That's a little bit of an issue at Monte Carlo, I'd say.

by Nate Saunders 5/23/2015 9:10:04 AM
They look funky because of those big tires. That is what may be coming to F1
