I'm very impressed with the way Kimi Antonelli is driving; he's driving so confidently and he is piling the pressure on George Russell. There's a seven tenths gap between them and George knows when he goes out next time, he's going to have to show he's got something up his sleeve - if he has.
At the moment, Kimi is showing no signs of being intimidated by this circuit
I'm standing opposite the McLaren garages of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri and they were trying to choose between different front wings before they sent the drivers out last time around. So still trying to finesse the set-up heading into qualifying later on.

This is precisely what we were talking about earlier. Ollie Bearman has completed most of the session but now he and Haas have got a lot of work to do. That car will be lifted from where it is and dumped at the top of the hill, and all that takes time to get back.

We're getting a look at where Kimi Antonelli is quick versus Charles Leclerc.
Leclerc is much more confident in the middle section of the track, coming through Casino Square as you head down towards the hairpin then towards the tunnel.
But then Antonelli is a little bit stronger in the remainder of the lap.
Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad, Sergio Perez in the Cadillac and Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso are the drivers out on track at the moment.

How did qualifying work with your race engineer in Monaco when I was driving? You basically just used your mirrors! They never were great, but that was the way you did it. You go and find a little spot for yourself, back off from the car in front and then hope there was no-one coming behind.
It has gone quiet on the streets of Monaco, just seven cars out there at the moment.
Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri have just ping-ponged for fourth spot. Verstappen overtook Piastri for a short while before the McLaren driver reclaimed his spot.
