Colorful midfield

As usual, it was colorful in the midfield, where there is also no favorite team. Lando Norris was seventh in the McLaren, followed by Ocon, Stoll and Albon ahead of Magnussen and Tsunoda.

Hulkenberg with tire damage

Nico Hülkenberg caused the first red flag after 40 minutes of training. The Haas driver had hit the wall in the harbor chicane, whereupon his tire came off the rim. He made it back to the pits but was only able to watch for the remainder of the session. Shortly before the end of the session, Alex Albon caused red flags again. At Sainte Devote, Albon crashed into the wall and ended up on the track with a broken rear axle.

Verstappen back

Max Verstappen was not yet able to compete for the top places. The Dutchman complained early on over the radio about the driving behavior of his car and even after a set-up change the world champion was anything but happy. Verstappen did not get more than sixth place. Sergio Pérez finished fourth ahead of local hero Charles Leclerc.

16:31

Sainz starts the weekend with the best time

Carlos Sainz in the Ferrari was able to set the best time in the first practice session. The Spaniard needed 1:13.372 minutes for the 3.337 kilometers and ended up ahead of Fernando Alonso in the Aston Martin. Third was Lewis Hamilton, whose Mercedes was in Monaco with a major update.
