Scuderia Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and team McLaren-Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton share the honor of being quickest today in the two free practice sessions of the prestigious Formula 1 Grand Prix of Monaco.

Both drivers of the Renault F1 Team, Fernando Alonso and Nelson Piquet, kissed the barriers today. Alonso's contact was however a little more severe and the R28 of the Spaniard lost its rear wing in the process, bringing out the red flag.

Nico Rosberg of team Williams-Toyota did extremely well, setting the 5th fastest time this morning and being 2nd quickest in the afternoon.
