    The gaps are quite big from the first three or four cars - so two Ferraris, two Mercedes - and everyone else seems to be struggling to get close.

    That is the end of third practice.

    Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli tops the leaderboard with the quickest time of the session.

    He is followed by the Ferrari duo Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton.

    See, I always wonder about these radio messages, because "horrendous" is not very technical, no very helpful to an engineer. When you say horrendous, are they "horrendously" good? They work too well? Where does he go from there?!

  4. Team radio - Leclerc to Ferrari

    "These brakes are horrendous. Horrendous"

  5. Charles Leclerc is back out on the streets of Monte Carlo.

    He has been on the radio to say his brakes are "horrendous".

    He will want to warm them up quickly to pip Kimi Antonelli to the top.

  6. 'Very impressed with Antonelli'

    Damon Hill
    1996 world champion on Sports Extra 2 in Monaco

    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

  7. And we are back.

    There's three minutes to go, so it is an all-important one lap left to set a good time.

    Can Kimi Antonelli hold on to the top spot?

  8. Session will resume at 12:26 BST.

    The drivers are all lined up in the pit lane.

  9. Team radio - Bearman to Haas

    Bearman: "Sorry guys, it's the ***** bottoming"

    Engineer: "Are you OK?"

    Bearman: "Yeah... Oh my gosh, guys. I'm so sorry. I totally lost it on the bump, I'm so sorry"

    Engineer: "It's OK, we'll get it fixed for quali Ollie. As long as you're OK"

  10. Oliver Bearman's car has been taken off the track but the damage to the barriers is being checked.

    The team tell Bearman that they will get the car ready for qualifying later today.

    Up and down the garage, every driver is in their car and ready to get going again.

    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.

  12. The pit exit is closed as the cars sit in their garages. Everyone is ready to go once the red flag is lifted.

    It will get very busy for the last few laps in third practice.

    1996 world champion on Sports Extra 2 in Monaco

    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.

  14. Top 5

    1. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes)

    2. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)

    3. Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari)

    4. George Russell (Mercedes)

    5. Max Verstappen (Red Bull)

  15. Team radio - Bearman to Haas

    "I'm OK"

  16. red flag

    Red flag

    Oliver Bearman has stopped on the circuit after hitting his car into the barriers.

    The Brit has been on the radio to say he is OK and gets out of his car safely.

  17. Arthur Leclerc is in the Ferrari garage watching on as his brother, Charles, was setting a fast lap but runs into traffic.

  18. Team radio - Lawson to Racing Bulls

    "That was close!"

  19. Liam Lawson drives over a bump and almost hits the barriers but the Racing Bulls driver manages to save it.

    Very close that.

  20. 'Antonelli versus Leclerc'

    Harry Benjamin
    BBC F1 Commentator in Monaco

    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.
