Hamilton, Verstappen and Bottas leave Ferrari trailing: Monaco GP FP1 Results

Lewis Hamilton began the Monaco Grand Prix weekend by topping the timesheets in Thursday's first practice session, although Max Verstappen kept him honest with a fine show in the Red Bull.

Hamilton went fastest with a time of 1:12.106, but Verstappen was within sixth hundredths of a second and Valtteri Bottas was only marginally slower again in the other Mercedes.

Ferrari were unable to make a similar impression, with Charles Leclerc three tenths adrift of Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel trailing the world champion by eight tenths.

The Scuderia were vastly outperformed in Barcelona's third sector a fortnight ago – generally a signifier of Monaco success.

Further down the grid a few teams had a troublesome session, especially Haas who saw Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen black-flagged after the team's telemetry and radio failed, prompting the FIA to step in. Both drivers emerged for the final moments of the session.

Carlos Sainz was consigned to the garage for the session due to an electronics issue, putting McLaren's mechanics to work.
