Higher kerbs have been installed at key sections of the Monaco circuit ahead of this week's Formula One race.
Last year, race director Charlie Whiting warned the drivers about cutting the kerbs and installed observers at the Nouvelle and Swimming Pool chicanes.
It is at those corners that new "higher elements have been added behind the existing kerbs" for the 2010 event, the governing body confirmed on Tuesday.
F1 photographer Mark Sutton inspected the new kerbs on Tuesday and remarked on Twitter that the drivers will "not want to touch them!"
Sutton was also disappointed to find new debris fencing at the Rascasse corner, recalling that in previous years "you could just lean over the barrier and shoot as the driver went past at speed".
The Monaco circuit has also been resurfaced in the pitlane, from Ste Devote all the way up the hill, from Place du Casino to the tunnel entry, and from the tunnel exit to the chicane.
