Holy crap! Bumpy nature of the Monaco track has Lewis Hamilton going out of his mind and losing his eyeballs.
As he crashes out of free practice, McLaren boss, Zak Browns reveals that there are "mechanisms" in place which would allow for an early end to Daniel Ricciardo's contract.
We have made a solid start to the weekend and have given ourselves the best possible chance of making further progress overnight.
Monaco is always a challenge for drivers and for teams and, this year, that challenge seems even greater with a new generation of cars which seem quite temperamental.
We have the potential to be in the top ten tomorrow. The car felt ok and we can be in the mix for Q3.
This circuit feels a lot different in these new cars. The main difference is that the tyres are much bigger so it is more difficult to see the track around you.
We still have to fine tune the balance but, all in all, it wasn't too bad and we just need to make the usual step from Friday to Saturday now.
Today's official driver press conference featuring all the drivers except Lando Norris.
Overall, it's not all been plain sailing but we're confident that we can delve through the data and find improvements tomorrow ahead of Qualifying as we know grid position here is often key to a successful weekend.
With this generation of cars there are many unknowns, like the setups required for a street track, but overall the setup we have showed a good potential in both practice sessions.
Today was important for the drivers to establish their reference points here with the new 18-inch tyres, which of course give quite a different perspective on this tight and twisty circuit, where precision is key.
If we get better balance we can attack the corners a bit more, then of course our lap times will improve.
We're struggling with the ride here and that's preventing us attacking the lap, especially on low fuel.
