A transcript of thursday's press conference at the Monaco GP.

Red Bull is not currently able to match the single-lap pace Mercedes showed in Monaco Grand Prix free practice, reckons Mark Webber.

Mercedes enjoyed a one-two with Nico Rosberg once again topping practice for the Monaco GP with Lewis Hamilton second.

Mercedes' Nico Rosberg led opening practice for the Monaco GP, the jewel of the Formula One season, ahead of Fernando Alonso.

Mark Webber thinks Formula 1 needs a deep think about whether or not its quest to deliver entertainment has gone too far.

As a race, Mark Webber loves Monaco but as a place, he would much rather be somewhere else.

Fernando Alonso thinks Red Bull's criticism of the Pirelli tyres is simply the result of it not being able to handle defeat.

Lewis Hamilton says he will put everything into getting pole position for the Monaco Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton made his point and Roscoe, his pampered pet bulldog, promptly proved him right at the Monaco Grand Prix on Wednesday.

Kimi Raikkonen says he will not hurry his decision over whether to stay at Lotus or move elsewhere.

Words and hats will be eaten along with the usual canapes if Lewis Hamilton wins the gamour race in Monaco this weekend.
