Thanks Ed

Looks like that was the practice session turned into serious competition

Wonder if Rosberg will still be that fast on Sunday

The times set are just amazing. The top 4 times on Thursday are quicker than the pole time from last year. Rosberg's quickest time was a 1:15.243 and if the conditions remain like this, the pole time will be under 1:15 and Q2 time could even by under the 1:14's.

By their admission, Williams have been sending their drivers out with less fuel that most so it is unlikely that they will be at the very top on Saturday.
I guess they see it as good media coverage to appease sponsors and attract new ones.

Saturday Practice for the Monaco Grand Prix is about to start, it is sunny and dry with air temperature at 24 degrees and track temperature at 33 degrees.

Looking at the times from Thursday, today is set to be very close and traffic will play a major factor in qualifying.
