Sebastian Vettel had an early near-miss at Swimming Pool, almost mirroring Ricciardo’s accident but putting in a spectacular save to carry on and finish ninth – AlphaTauri’s Yuki Tsunoda just 0.07s back to round out the top 10. Before Ricciardo’s off, Perez went fastest with a time of 1m 14.001s, while the Ferraris were the only pair to run hards early on, the rest beginning on mediums. Daniel Ricciardo was garage-bound for the first 10 minutes of FP2 with McLaren working on the rear of his car.

After the red flag, softs began to come into play and the time attack began, the digits tumbling until Leclerc set the fastest lap of 1m 12.656s, Ferrari team mate Sainz just 0.044s behind in P2. Charles Leclerc finished fastest in the second practice session ahead of the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix, with Ferrari team mate Carlos Sainz and Red Bull’s Sergio Perez completing the top three on a hot day in the Principality.

The pressure on the pit crew in Monaco is immense. Ferrari thought they had solved the problem, but on the way to the grid Leclerc broke down. Monaco is still high for Formula 1, but way down in comparison at 45%. Since 2015, pole position has won twice at Monaco. Prior to that, there was a six-race run of the pole-sitter also taking the victory on Sunday. The Monaco Grand Prix is entering its second and final free practice session of the day. It wasn't the case last time out in Spain but pole position in Barcelona as won an incredible 72% of races.

Hamilton was able to recover from an early accident to finish fifth while George Russell bagged his second podium of the season.

Home favourite Charles Leclerc pipped Red Bull's Sergio Perez and Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz to top the first practice session ahead of Formula 1's 2022 ...

He complained about a pedal box issue and pitted but never returned to the circuit thereafter as his Friday misfortune endures. Verstappen finished the opening gambit 0.2s in arrears of Leclerc, while Norris, Gasly and Ricciardo were shuffled to places 5-7. Verstappen ran quickest with a 1m14.7132s upon his switch to medium tyres but soon headed for the Sainte Devote escape road after a sizeable front-right lock up. Medium-shod Norris lowered the benchmark to 1m15.301s and then 1m15.056s to keep 0.2s in hand over Ricciardo on the same tyre. Russell led the troublesome Mercedes attack in eighth, with Hamilton rounding out the top 10. The position of his Haas notably forced Alonso to a halt when he was unable to manoeuvre past the stricken Schumacher, forcing the Alpine driver to toggle reverse. The blockage swiftly led to red flags. Leclerc, who has yet to finish an F1 or FIA Formula 2 race at Monaco, had to abort a couple of potentially even faster laps late on. The first practice to take place in Monaco on a Friday during the modern era was typified by a breathless run of fastest laps from Max Verstappen and the Ferraris to that led to constant changing at the top of the leaderboard in the early part of the hour. Mick Schumacher had complained of a transmission gremlin and then stopped at the entrance to the pitlane. While Hamilton and Russell complained of extreme bouncing returning with a stiff set-up around bumpy Monaco, Verstappen then dropped below the 1m16s as he sailed to a 1m15.933s on the slower Pirellis. But he was soon up to speed, as Daniel Ricciardo set the early benchmark with a 1m20.364s effort to lead Fernando Alonso and McLaren stablemate Lando Norris - still under the weather after his bout of tonsilitis in Spain.

Charles Leclerc was fastest during Monaco Grand Prix practice on Friday, the seventh round of the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship, for Ferrari.

Leclerc then took P1 on 1m14.531s, 0.07s ahead of Sainz before Perez rose to second, 0.039s off the quickest time. Leclerc set the early pace at 1m17.993 on medium tyres, soon topped by Sainz, Daniel Ricciardo ( McLaren), Verstappen as the track rubbered-in. Leclerc set 1m13.125s on his first flyer, which was topped by Verstappen at 1m13.103s on his second lap, then Leclerc improved to set a new P1 time of 1m12.764s. Sainz went second, three tenths down on his teammate. Verstappen switched to mediums and went to the top on 1m14.712s, 0.188s ahead of Perez. Verstappen then had a huge lock-up and went straight on at Ste Devote, as Leclerc jumped up to second and Sainz had a potential fastest lap ruined by traffic at the Swimming Pool section. After the restart, Fernando Alonso ( Alpine) was one of the first drivers on soft rubber and leapt to the head of the field briefly before Perez and Verstappen retook the top spots, Perez producing 1m13.324s for P1. Leclerc was fastest in FP1 and FP2, finishing the day 0.044s ahead of teammate Carlos Sainz and the Red Bulls of Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen.

Lewis Hamilton says Monaco this year is the "bumpiest" track he has ever driven because of problems with his Mercedes car in Friday practice.

Morning was good, we can use that and Lando had a pretty good P2 so we can bounce back." "I shouldn't be sideways at that point but I guess I was also a bit lucky. "We want to be best of the rest. He said: "I think we just pushed a few things with set-up a little too far. "The car looks strong. Russell added: "The car is constantly smashing against the floor. "The grip doesn't feel terrible but it's just eyeballs coming out of the sockets. The initial feeling is good so hopefully we can do the step we want for tomorrow and have a great weekend after that. But it's the bumpiest roller-coaster ride." It's probably the bumpiest track I've ever driven," the seven-time champion said. It's different bouncing to what we've experienced in the past because it's in the low speed [corners] also, but it's not aero. The bumps are making it worse.

British Formula 2 star Jake Hughes has suffered a massive accident in Formula 2 qualifying just hours before Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen will take to ...

The next section of the track at the entrance to turn 15 has also caught out many top F1 stars. More recently, Charles Leclerc lost control of his Ferrari at turn 15 at the end of qualifying last season. Hamilton's former team-mate lost control of his Williams at turn 13 and was thrown into the wall. His shunt brought out the red flag but secured Leclerc pole as he had already set the quickest lap time. The impact sent debris across the track and brought out the red flag with just a minute left of the session. Hughes qualified fifth.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc has told Formula 1 bosses that the Monaco Grand Prix must stay on the calendar.

There is no track that comes close to the adrenalin we get here, and for me, it is part of F1's history." Leclerc, who has won two races this season and trails championship leader Max Verstappen by six points, added: "F1 needs to go to the best tracks, but I really think Monaco is one of them. "The driver can make a difference because the barriers are so close. But Leclerc, 24, born and raised in Monaco, said: "Losing the race would be a bad move for both parties. The race has only been omitted from an F1 season five times since the sport's official start in 1950. Organisers of the sport's grandest race are locked in discussions with F1's American owners Liberty Media over a contract extension.

"Almost there. I'm reasonably happy. "He is the best of the rest at the moment so it is a tough one." I know they'll fix it. "It is so difficult, he broke the rhythm with that and now he only has a couple of laps tomorrow in P3 and at the same, Norris is flying again out there. Daniel Ricciardo has promised to "bounce back" after his Monaco GP crash in practice two, which Sky Sports F1's Nico Rosberg described as another "big setback" for the McLaren driver.

"But I really think that we need to do another step forward for tomorrow because everyone has got quite a bit of margin on a Friday, and also us drivers, so it's a bit the unknown for now. "We were surprised," the Mexican said. "I think overall we've been trying a few things around the aero unit to see how the car was behaving," Verstappen said. "We were expecting a bit of a gap but not such a gap. "We're not where we want to be. "We've seen how good they've been over kerbs, we saw in Imola when they were just smashing over them with relative ease and it's obviously playing into their hands at the moment. Leclerc enjoyed a superb start to his home weekend with a practice double, with Ferrari extending their advantage over Red Bull in the second session. But we won't stop fighting." "Putting a lap together is difficult," Hamilton explained. I really hope for a better day tomorrow. The end result, however, was just as agonising as both Hamilton and George Russell, who finished sixth in P2, lacked pace and balance. "It's like...

The sound of V6 turbo hybrid engines could be heard reverberating around the narrow streets of Monte Carlo once more as practice for the Monaco Grand Prix ...

While Daniel Ricciardo lost most of FP2 following a crash, he and the team remain optimistic they can compete for Q3 solidly, with Norris very much the leading contender for best-of-the rest behind the two Ferraris and two Red Bulls. And on the evidence of Friday practice, that may well turn out to be the case. Still plenty to work on overnight, but for now, their battle looks to be with McLaren. Fast forward to 2022, and they arrive with a title-contending package – and based on Friday practice, once again are the ones to beat. But they certainly have the more challenging homework of the two main title contending teams. With overtaking tricky around Monte Carlo, half the job could be done – providing they are reliable, of course – tomorrow.

George Russell was the fastest Mercedes driver in sixth place in the second session, with seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton 10th and 12th and testing a range of settings to tame his bouncing car. He was 0.044 quicker than the Spaniard, with the local favourite also fastest in a crash-free first practice with a time of 1:14.531. Leclerc led team mate Carlos Sainz in a one-two in the second session, lapping the unforgiving street circuit with a fastest lap of 1:12.656 seconds on a hot and sunny afternoon.

Ferrari gun trying to end Monaco curse, Ricciardo in form for year's most crucial qualifying: F1 LIVE.

“I’ve said everything I feel I need to say... “Honestly, I feel there’s way too much time and energy been given to this,” he told reporters. “I think we’ve all worn jewellery our whole careers in F1 and it’s never been a problem in the past and there’s no reason for it to necessarily be a problem now.” He had earlier been cleared to continue racing with his various piercings for jewellery, including a nose stud, after the FIA had deferred action on their ‘bling ban’ to the end of next month. On a perfect Riviera afternoon, the action began with a track temperature of 54 degrees and the air at 28, inviting conditions for all involved and the many Leclerc fans basking in the sunshine. Everyone departed immediately, keen not to waste any track time, and Sainz swiftly set a marker lap before the times tumbled rapidly and, after 10 minutes, it was Leclerc who led, in 1:16.020, ahead of Sainz and Verstappen.

The Monaco Grand Prix has no contract beyond 2022, for now, and its Formula 1 future has never seemed less assured.

The Monaco GP as we all know it is surely not long for this world. There will be those who see these external factors as paling in comparison to the sheer spectacle of the Monaco GP, at least in qualifying. And it still might. “The races are so close. Another long-held Monaco guarantee that it does not want to part with is the fact it controls its own TV direction. It’s still a great race to schmooze sponsors but so are many others. There are other commercial factors too, such as the control of advertising around the circuit. It’s also worth bearing in mind that Monaco’s power seems to be waning. After a COVID-enforced absence in 2020 and reduced numbers in 2021, this feels like a proper Monaco GP again. Remember Sebastian Vettel and Pierre Gasly going side-by-side up the hill last year? And they should stay on the calendar.” But he has previously advocated changing the layout.

“It was a car that I felt like I could push on and find the limit quite quickly, which is a very important thing here in Monaco.” His only challenge now is bridging that one-hour practice gap on Saturday to get himself back into the mix. “FP2 was effectively my first session of the weekend, so I took it step by step,” he said. “We’ve got some studying to do tonight to find the right mix between ultimate performance and a drivable balance,” Hamilton said. The car’s propensity to take care of the tyres is also a bit of a weakness around Monaco, and Verstappen’s second practice session was compromised trying to find a way to put energy through his Pirelli rubber for the optimal qualifying lap. Virtually all of Russell’s 0.8-second advantage over Hamilton was made at the chicane and then especially through Tabac and Swimming Pool, where confidence to get right up next to the walls is key to lap time. Instead of the aerodynamic ‘porpoising’ that’s so badly hamstrung the W13 this year, this is a strictly mechanical bouncing. Pit lane opens for Q1 at midnight. It left him half a tenth behind Perez at the end of the day. “I’m still not going to let it affect us into tomorrow. You can see that lack of confidence on the throttle trace too. Its season-long strength under acceleration and power out of slow-speed corners is also an obvious boon around Monaco, which comprises almost exclusively slow corners.

Since 2015, pole position has won twice at Monaco. Prior to that, there was a six-race run of the pole-sitter also taking the victory on Sunday.

LEWIS HAMILTON could be angered by a metal water bottle ban at this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix.

Earlier this week, F1 revealed Monaco officials had decided to embark on a range of sustainability initiatives for this year’s race including a ‘zero plastic waste free by 2030’ drive. Posting on Twitter, F1 said: “Formula 1 aims to be Net-Zero Carbon by 2030 from factory to flag. In one image they are seen to be half the size of a common dictaphone or around 6cm in height.

With temperatures a toasty 27 degrees Celsius, the cars rumbled out onto the Monaco track beneath a blazing sun for the final hour of practice. Fast forward to the final 10 minutes, and the real qualifying simulations began, with the times tumbling in quick succession – Leclerc and Perez the two drivers looking in particularly fine nick around Monaco, as they went blow for blow with the P1 time, Perez ultimately coming out on top with a 1m 12.476s, the fastest lap of the weekend so far, but just 0.041s ahead of Leclerc. With the teams pounding out lap after lap on the same tyres, Sergio Perez then took the lead 25 minutes in, only for Leclerc to lay down a juicy marker of a 1m 12.885s – 0.412s up on the Mexican’s time – before retreating to the pits to regroup. The first swathe of those soft runs in the opening 20 minutes saw Leclerc initially lead the way with a 1m 13.434s – with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen lurking 0.246s off the Monegasque’s pace, Sainz and Perez filing in behind. Given qualifying is so crucial here due to the tight nature of the Monaco circuit and importance of track position, it was unsurprising to see drivers prioritising the softer end of the tyre spectrum in FP3, a number heading out immediately on the soft C5 tyres. Ahead of arguably the most important qualifying session of the year, it was Red Bull’s Sergio Perez who led the way in Free Practice 3 for the Monaco Grand Prix, finishing 0.041s ahead of local hero Charles Leclerc, as Carlos Sainz took P3.

Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton has condemned the surface at the Monaco Grand Prix, labelling the circuit the 'bumpiest rollercoaster ride ever' as he claimed ...

The 2022 event will be his 15th visit to the principality - but he is concerned F1 has taken a step backwards when it comes to the iconic race. It is just the bumps on the track are making it worse. Because it is in a lower speed, it is not aero. “I don’t remember experiencing it like that before. However, aerodynamic porpoising was not to blame for the vigorous bouncing on this occasion. The octuple world champions have struggled with severe porpoising as their cars have been bouncing uncontrollably following the new regulations and car designs implemented for 2022.

The Ferrari star has yet to finish a F1 race on his home track.

“When you think about Formula One, a lot of people think about Monaco. So yeah, it would be nice to put an overtaking place; I’m not going to lie,” Carlos Sainz said during Friday’s press conference. That’s it … If you stand still, then you’re going backwards, and I think that applies to all aspects of the sport.” Russell echoed the same core three historic tracks when talking with Sports Illustrated, adding, “Monaco is a must in my opinion. But, the history makes it hard to eliminate entirely. “Firstly, it is the bumpiest track I have ever been to,” Hamilton said Friday, per ESPN. “It is the bumpiest track I have ever driven. And I think that if Monaco was a new circuit coming on to the calendar now, and they said, ‘Well, you’re going to have the lowest fee of every single circuit, you’re going to go there you can’t overtake,’ it would never be accepted onto the calendar. But you know, everything does evolve over time,” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said ahead of the Miami Grand Prix. “And, you know, when you look at Wimbledon, they now have a roof when it rains. The track is incredibly narrow, limiting the ability for the new generation of cars to overtake. Putting the lap together is, wow … holy crap … I have not experienced it like that before.” It is just eyeballs coming out the sockets.” Russell first competed in the F1 Monaco Grand Prix in 2019, and although he started 19th and finished 15th, his favorite memory at this track comes from that season. It has held a coveted spot on the sport’s exclusive schedule since 1995, only being skipped once in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

- F1 heads to Monaco this weekend with Leclerc praying for a change of fortune It was Leclerc’s fifth pole of the season and the 14th of his career, an oft-decisive advantage at the tight and unforgiving barrier-lined street circuit where he has yet to finish a race. Monte Carlo — Charles Leclerc topped the times to take pole position for Ferrari at his home Monaco Grand Prix on Saturday after Red Bull's Sergio Perez crashed on his final flying lap in a dramatic qualifying session.

The Ferrari driver, born and raised on Monte Carlo's famous streets, held his nerve to deliver an almighty lap under pressure.

“I am not 100 per cent – you can see how red my face is – and there are a few things I am still struggling with. I knew the pace was in the car and I just had to do the job.” It is impossible to say.” Leclerc put his Ferrari on pole last year before crashing out in the final moments of qualifying. “Throat-wise I am in a better place. “It took a big toll on me physically.

Leclerc is set to lead when the lights go out for the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix at 1500 local time. It’s been a very smooth weekend until now; I knew the pace was in the car I just had to do the job and it went perfectly. Behind them was Aston Martin’s Vettel in P9, and the other Alpine of Ocon in 10th. The pit lane queue confirmed that there would be a mad rush to set times when the session would resume, with Ricciardo, Ocon, Latifi, Tsunoda and Zhou in the provisional drop zone while Norris was on the edge in P15. Tsunoda’s brush with the barriers at the chicane and resultant red flag saw Alfa Romeo’s Zhou Guanyu miss out on a final chance to set a flying lap and qualify 20th. Then, another red flag: Perez had crashed just before the tunnel, Sainz collecting him having seen the preceding yellow flag too late, to essentially finish the session. That last lap before the red flag was very very good. Bottas couldn’t make it out of Q2 in P12, Magnussen dropping to P13, while Ricciardo eliminated in 14th. Yuki Tsunoda caused a brief red flag in Q1 after clipping the barrier, but managed to emerge from the session. This thrilling conclusion saw Ocon jump to fourth, Norris to fifth, while Tsunoda recovered to go ninth for AlphaTauri behind Haas’s Magnussen in P8. Vettel’s last-gasp effort saw him jump to eighth and Russell finished ninth – with Alonso making it through to Q3 in P10, as Tsunoda lost out by a tenth of a second. "It is very special.

NICHOLAS LATIFI laughed off a claim he had been sacked by Williams ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix.

It was nice to get the three stops in,” Latifi said. My apologies to Nick Latifi.” The Williams driver has also been guilty of making some mistakes this season, but has improved his level recently and finished ahead of Albon for the first time this season at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya last week. “When I saw that I just kind of laughed a little bit because obviously, it was not the case at all, I’m still here,” he explained.

Sunday brings together a magical convergence in the racing world. From Monaco to Indianapolis to Charlotte, racing takes center stage on Memorial Day ...

The point is that this Sunday is still the coolest of the cool. The day when a NASCAR field full of 20-somethings will roll down the same Charlotte backstretch where David Pearson, Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt all streaked toward victory. In the age of NASCAR's bulletproof Next Gen car and ultradurable engines steered by ultrafit drivers, is 600 miles the true measure of endurance that it used to be? And are the days of full-throated, combustion-powered, fossil-fuel-based automobiles headed to the same fate as the dinosaurs whose remains they now burn? But none of that is the point. On Memorial Day 1911, a noisy, smoky field of 40 machines producing 100 horsepower barreled through the first turn at speeds approaching 80 mph, wrestling steel Marmons, Fiats and Buicks around a teeth-chattering surface made up of 3.2 million bricks. These racers do that stuff all the time with zero special effects, and on Sunday they will do it all at once. Probably. During Friday's final practice, Colton Herta's airborne, upside-down crash was a reminder that we're watching earthbound rockets that are barely being held to the ground. The place known simply as "The Speedway" opened in 1909 with a balloon race, a 2.5-mile rectangle built by four entrepreneurs eager to construct a proving ground that could showcase the still-new American automobile industry. It begins with the Monaco Grand Prix (8:55 a.m. ET, ESPN). Since 1929, race cars have snaked their way through the streets of Europe's most glamorous adult playground, streaking by casinos, skating around fountains and blazing alongside a seemingly endless navy of yachts, upon which men and women bathe in the sun and breathe in the ethanol. It is a race that was first organized by royalty, under the watchful eye of Prince Louis II. A course was laid out through the streets of Monte Carlo nearly a century ago for Bugatti and Mercedes machines that produced 140 horsepower. That perfect octane-drenched Sunday when one ... two ... three signature events snap into alignment like the perfect chassis setup, riding the ragged edge of speed from the time that those of us in the United States wake up until we collapse back into our pillows like it was a SAFER barrier.
