Max Verstappen topped the second F1 free practice session for the Monaco GP, as FP1 headliner Carlos Sainz caused a red flag with a crash. Here's the full report ⬇️
Almost the entire field opened their lap tallies on the medium tyres, barring the hard-shod Ferrari duo, and ownership over the fastest lap time quickly changed hands as the times tumbled.
The Frenchman was surpassed by Alonso, who went nearly a second faster, before Verstappen brought the session into the 1m13s with a 1m13.985s. On softs, Alonso leapfrogged him with a 1m12.786s and held the fort for a good 10 minutes until countryman Sainz fired in a 1m12.569s to reclaim his time-topping efforts from the opening practice session.
Leclerc was less than a tenth away from Verstappen on a far stronger tour of the Monte Carlo circuit, and overcame team-mate Sainz to grab second. This cemented Verstappen's place at the top, less than a tenth clear of Leclerc's best effort of the session, while Sainz could not improve on third-best after his crash.
