Antonelli: "Ah he's an idiot man, completely in the way!
Engineer: "Yeah copy, saw that"

It's so unusual to see the quickest last sector [by Kimi Antonelli] but the middle sector was not his best - and still setting the fastest lap. So well done Kimi again.
Actually, watching the slow-motion replay of Kimi coming out of Tabac, he hit the barrier with his right rear tyre. Now that is on the limit.

Thirty minutes to go in third practice.
Kimi Antonelli continues to be the fastest car out on track followed by Charles Leclerc, George Russell, Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen.

Team radio - Lawson to Racing Bullspublished at 12:00 BST 6 June

"I had a big moment at the swimming pool. I had no idea what happened but I just hit a bump and nearly lost the car."

Postpublished at 11:59 BST 6 June

There was a brief yellow flag as Franco Colapinto gets into the barriers, but it was not a big impact and the driver continues on with his lap.
Liam Lawson also has a little moment in his Racing Bulls near the swimming pool.

Could we see a four-car battle potentially for pole position this afternoon?

Antonelli: "Where did I lose to George?"
Engineer: "Into exit Turn 1, you can take less curb and into exit Turn 12"
Mercedes in the fightpublished at 11:55 BST 6 June

Championship leader Kimi Antonelli has responded to Charles Leclerc and has gone fastest overall, two tenths faster than Leclerc's Ferrari.
He's been on the radio to get some information on where he has lost to team-mate George Russell.

Postpublished at 11:53 BST 6 June

Charles Leclerc is upsetting anyone that tops the leaderboard, he just comes back faster and pips them for the top spot.
The Monegasque has set a lap time of 1:13.355, dropping Mercedes' Antonelli to second and Russell to third.

'V8 engines - not enough omph'published at 11:53 BST 6 June
Damon Hill
1996 world champion on Sports Extra 2 in Monaco

I had retired by the time the V8 engines came in - I only used the V10 - but I have to say, I didn't like the V8s, I thought they made so much noise. And most of it was noise and not enough omph. It was a very smallish engine making a lot of noise and revving very high.
There'll be listening to me going 'no, we love them!' but to me, it appears to be loud, for one thing, and I didn't think the cars seem to have the punch that you got from a lower revving, bigger engine.

Antonelli fastestpublished at 11:51 BST 6 June

Kimi Antonelli has set the fastest lap time in third practice now.
The championship leader is on a time of 1:13.374.
Meanwhile, Oscar Piastri has jumped up from lower down the pack to fourth in his McLaren.
Celebs in Monacopublished at 11:50 BST 6 June

Spotted this year is Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe.
Kim Kardashian has been linked with Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton in the recent months, they were also spotted at the Super Bowl earlier this year.

Leclerc fastestpublished at 11:48 BST 6 June

Charles Leclerc has reclaimed the top spot in third practice, his lap time is 1:13.748.
The Ferrari man signed a new long-term contract with the team and won his first home race in 2024. Can he do it again?

I've just got an answer from McLaren about Lando Norris' issue in practice yesterday.
They say they don't know for sure that it 100% was the battery that stopped Lando out on track 15 minutes into FP2.
But they say the fastest way to move forward was change everything!

Russell fastestpublished at 11:46 BST 6 June

Here comes George Russell. The Mercedes man has put in a fast lap and tops the leaderboard.
Russell's lap time is 1:13.902.

You are having to use the brakes a lot here, coming into Turn One, Sainte Devote, and you are going pretty fast and you brake very late, so the brakes have to be finely tuned and trustworthy.

Postpublished at 11:44 BST 6 June

It is still early on in third practice but a special mention to Liam Lawson, his Racing Bulls has been up there with the Ferraris of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc and McLaren's Lando Norris.
Lawson's lap time is 1:14.975, sitting in third spot currently.
