Friday’s thrills and spills

Monaco’s walls are punishing – as these three drivers found out on Friday.

Hadjar knocked the inside wall at the Nouvelle Chicane and took his tyre off the rim. His brief stoppage and debris caused a red flag. Later in the session, the Frenchman broke his rear suspension after hitting the wall at Turn 1

Even championship leaders aren’t invulnerable! Piastri locked up at Turn 1 and couldn’t get the turn-in to the Sainte Devote run-off – he instead speared into the wall.

Friday practice recap

In FP1, Charles Leclerc led the way from Max Verstappen, after recovering from a hairpin clash with Lance Stroll. The Canadian had just let through traffic, and coalesced with Leclerc on the racing line – leading to a Ferrari missing a front wing and a damaged Aston Martin.

Leclerc was also quickest in FP2, with a 0.038s advantage over McLaren’s Oscar Piastri – the Australian had earlier produced a brief red flag when he knocked his front wing off at Sainte Devote.
