actual qualifying session begins at 22:00 AEST.

The Practice 3 session is on at the moment with Grosjean setting the
fastest lap so far with a 1:15.8.

Mark Webber on P1 for Monaco!

But Schumacher set a slightly faster time by 8/100ths of a second but takes the grid penalty from Barcelona.

Rosberg will be P2
Hamilton P3

An exciting qualifying session.

[Manav (Yugant)]

This would be good for MS confidence

[kustard (Simon)]

Massa did very well in Q2 I thought.

Good to see Webber on P1 for Monaco

Hi Ron,

Great to hear you got out observing.

When we were chatting on the telephone today, you mentioned trying to
track down Fourcade-Figueroa shred in your scope.

Here is a post I made on that object earlier this year when we viewed it through the
30" f/4.5 at Coonabarabran.

Les has managed to see it in an 18", so if the transparency was as good as you had
last night but the seeing better, you might have a good chance.

Tonight's race coverage is on Channel 10 and not ONE HD. Coverage begins at
21:40 AEST and the race starts at 22:00 AEST.

Last year only six cars out of the 23 starters managed to complete all 78 laps.
Four retired due to accidents, Schumacher had an airbox fire, Glock suspension
failure. Perez was a DNS.

If yesterday's qualifying session is anything to go by, it should be an exciting
race tonight, with the outcome just as uncertain as the roulette wheel of the Hotel de Paris.
