F1 Monaco GP qualifying – Start time, how to watch & more

The Ferrari driver bounced back from the disappointment of last weekend’s Spanish GP where he retired from a healthy lead due to a MGU-H and turbo failure by leading both FP1 and FP2, edging the second session by just 0.044s from team-mate Carlos Sainz. 

Sergio Perez led Red Bull’s charge with third place in the FP2 fractionally ahead of his team-mate and new F1 world championship leader Max Verstappen, with the Mexican driver surprised by the gap to the Ferrari pair. 

Lando Norris continued to battle tonsillitis as he grabbed an impressive fifth place for McLaren, having finished on the podium in Monaco 12 months ago, but it was another tough day for team-mate Daniel Ricciardo who crashed early in FP2.

George Russell led the Mercedes charge in sixth place, with team-mate Lewis Hamilton hit by problems on his qualifying simulation runs to drop to 12th place overall.
