| Welcome to F1-Live.com and day two of the action from the Monaco Grand Prix. Today we have a one hour practice session ahead of qualifying later on today. |
| 10:52:21
| Thursday practice saw McLaren Mercedes head the timesheets with Fernando Alonso setting the pace on a 1:15.940s. Team-mate Lewis Hamilton was fast too until he went off and damaged his car. He ended the first day in third position. |
| 10:54:05
| Ferrari had Kimi Raikkonen second fastest while Felipe Massa was a low-key sixth fastest. McLaren had the edge on Thursday, but Ferrari will be hoping to close the gap today. |
| 10:56:08
| Jarno Trulli was impressive for Toyota as he set the fourth fastest time. Trulli won here for Renault in 2005 and seems to have found a good balance on his Toyota. Team-mate Ralf Schumacher has not and struggled badly on Thursday before crashing out. |
| 10:57:13
| Giancarlo Fisichella was also going well in his Renault. The Italian was fifth fastest ahead of Massa, Robert Kubica, Nico Rosberg, Mark Webber and Mark Webber. |

| 11:20:35
| Ralf Schumacher follows his team-mate out and onto the circuit. |
| 11:21:11
