Leclerc doubled up by setting the pace once again in second practice in Monaco. 

The home favourite ended up just 0.038s faster than McLaren's Oscar Piastri, who recovered from damaging his front wing in a rare crash to split the Ferraris. 

Lewis Hamilton was third quickest as he closed to within 0.105s of teammate Leclerc, who was in a class of one on Friday. 

Lando Norris put his McLaren fourth, three tenths further back. 

There was an impressive showing from Racing Bulls, with Liam Lawson taking fifth ahead of teammate Isack Hadjar, who twice hit the barriers - the first incident at the Nouvelle Chicane causing a red flag. 

Fernando Alonso was seventh for Aston Martin, ahead of Williams' Alex Albon and Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli. 

Max Verstappen had a tough afternoon as he rounded out the top-10, just ahead of Red Bull teammate Yuki Tsunoda.

Leclerc topped first F1 practice for the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix:

Charles Leclerc started his home F1 grand prix in the best way possible by topping the timesheets in first practice.

The 2024 Monaco Grand Prix winner didn’t have a smooth first practice session. Leclerc ran wide at Turn 5 in the opening few minutes after locking his front-right tyre.

Moments after, Leclerc ran into the back of Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll at the hairpin. Leclerc was on a hot lap at the time, but Stroll didn’t see him coming.

Fortunately for Leclerc, he could get back into pit lane with only minor damage. On the other hand, Stroll’s session was over due to significant damage to the rear of his car.

Despite his complaints over team radio, Leclerc was fast. He stormed to the top of the timesheets with a 1m11.964s.

Leclerc’s advantage came in the first sector, which is made up of higher-speed corners, with the Ferrari still losing out in low-speed. A late lap from Max Verstappen put him second in the order, a couple of tenths off Leclerc.

Lando Norris was third-fastest in the lead McLaren. Alex Albon continued Williams’ strong start to the year, setting the fourth-fastest time of the session.

Oscar Piastri made it two McLarens in the top five, nearly 0.4s off Leclerc’s pace. George Russell was sixth overall for Mercedes, less than a tenth ahead of Carlos Sainz.

Pierre Gasly was eighth for Alpine, 0.5s off Leclerc’s benchmark. Lewis Hamilton was only ninth in the second Ferrari.

The seven-time world champion ran across the kerbs at the Swimming Pool chicane at the end of lap, resulting in his car going airborne momentarily.

Fernando Alonso rounded out the top 10 for Aston Martin.
