Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc dominated all practice sessions at the Monaco Grand Prix, with a nail-biting qualifying session ahead due to unique tire challenges. Leclerc, aiming for back-to-back poles, outperformed Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, underscoring the tire enigma caused by Pirelli’s selection. Verstappen struggled with grip on the soft C6 compound, opting for cooldown laps to adjust tire performance. The qualifying session unfolded slowly at first, but intensified as teams grappled with tire strategies on the street circuit. Lewis Hamilton’s mishap, hitting the wall, caused a red flag, halting the session prematurely. Despite the challenging conditions, Leclerc ultimately secured a clean sweep of practice sessions, with Norris and Piastri closely trailing in third and fourth positions.
