Charles Leclerc will be looking to continue his strong start to the Monaco Grand Prix weekend in the second of Friday’s two practice sessions.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The home favourite was the only driver to dip into the 1:13 mark during the first 60 minutes of practice in Monte Carlo, with team-mate Lewis Hamilton slotting into second place ahead of Max Verstappen, who once again complained of issues with his Red Bull.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Both Mercedes and McLaren cars appeared off the pace, with Lando Norris narrowly avoiding a crash moments before Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar smashed into the swimming pool exit wall.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
George Russell will also be looking to improve, having ended nearly half-a-second down on team-mate Kimi Antonelli.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
