This shot was taken about 12h30pm just before the second half of the practice session. Just in front of the white van you can see the corner where HH would destroy one of these cars in a few hours time. You had to be there. We are sitting on the rock. In the middle of all those trees are the pits, off to the bottom right of the picture is the paddock.
Every driver has to leave the paddock and pass that stand to get to the pits.
The crowd were crazy - Alesi, Prost, Schumacher, Todt, Panis, Stewart, Berger and many more received absolute standing cheering ovations. Well here it is. When you have run 55 Grand Prix's you learn all the tricks. Here we are on the road down from the rock to the port - note how Monaco has installed a metal cage over the bushes so that fans can jump up and down on top without hurting the plants. We had a short chat about cars and computers and stuff.
