Lewis Hamilton was fastest in the first practice session at the Monaco Grand Prix, with Red Bull struggling with setup once again. Hamilton set a lap time of 1m12.169s, beating Oscar Piastri by 0.029s on soft tires before a red flag interrupted the session caused by Zhou Guanyu’s crash. Charles Leclerc was unlucky as debris from Zhou’s crash damaged his Ferrari, ending his session early. Leclerc still impressed by finishing fifth on the medium tires. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez faced challenges with their cars, with Perez suffering from a puncture. Gasly had technical issues and finished the session without a representative time.
