F1 rookies sample Monaco barriers on Thursday

Rookies Karun Chandhok and Kamui Kobayashi fell afoul the notorious Monaco walls as the Principality came alive on Thursday morning.

Under sunny skies in the Principality, Sauber driver Kobayashi's was the biggest incident, occurring at the end of the 90-minute session.

The Japanese lost control in the famous Swimming Pool section, hitting the raised kerbs and then the barrier on the exit, but he managed to nurse the C29 back to the pits minus a front wing.
