J-E-T, if you go to the official F1 site, you'll see on the right hand side of the screen the schedule for the next race. Very handily, there's a link/button that converts that to your local time (according to your IP, AFAIK). It works for every session.
I am not amazed by F1 cars in Monaco. I want to see them driving in the A8 highway: Variable radius corners, negative banking, and extreme narrowings that Tilke has never dreamed off. Oh, yes, and "beautiful" weather tops it all.

FP3 is running. It is dry. Button is on track.

I'm wondering how the rear-light on the McLaren (possibly other cars) turns on going into the tunnel. Is it automated?

I can't see it being on outside the tunnel. It possibly is. There aren't many shots of the rear of the cars.

Sutil also had a small shunt and had to replace the rear wing and left rear wheel assembly.

That should be another big step forward for Ferrari. Massa's FW modification gave them 0.5s, and this upgrade will probably give them twice as much :D
Is there any chance to fix Alonso's car before Q1?

That was terribly silly from Fernando. Where exactly did he lose it? Under braking? Because that wonderful TV coverage could only show us when he was already on the barrier. Similar to what others suffered, I think that the brake bias may have been heavy on the rear end, and had a bit of turn in oversteer. But I haven't seen it.

Regarding Q1, Alonso is lucky that Q1 starts at 14:00 instead of 13:00.
