I was thinking more in the days of Hill and Rindt and Brabham and Stewart ... you know, when there was no GP2. Or, at the very least, when all the cars raced together. Or the lesser formulae were run on the Thursday or Saturday after the practice sessions. Either way, I'm guessing the Firday GP2 race is only a recent thing; the tradition came before the race.

There is only 1-2 places where KERS could be used, the best would probably be coming out of Sainte Devot. But I highly doubt KERS will actually help Ferrari and McLaren make any passes.
If I had to hazard a guess, it's either a typo or the realisation that Ferrari aren't assued victory.
The tunnel, maybe. I think the Start/Finish straight is perhaps a little too short - I certainly can't see it being used off the line because by the time you get up to 100km/h, you're in the braking zone for Ste. Devote and there's nowhere to go around the others - and the run up Beau Rivage is perhaps too narrow. There's been some talk that people would use it to get out of slow corners faster, but we haven't seen that at all this year and I think it might generate too much wheelspin. KERS doesn't come with traction control, after all.
Holy GOD the sound of that Brabham on the final straight
:
It was "fit of pique". . Now I know what it means.
It's what the Renault guys call the bulged veins on Flavio's forehead every time Nelson does a Nelson.
