Monaco Grand Prix 2017
15h
Grosjean: “It was not an easy session. It didn't work in Q1, a little better in Q2, but I suffered with the tires in Q3. It was very close in the second part of Q3. The result remains positive because we could hardly have hoped for better. It will remain difficult to overtake, especially for Hamilton, because the cars are wider than in the past. You will have to watch out for safety cars. »
