Lewis Hamilton was resurgent during Friday practice in Monaco, topping the time sheets in FP1, and putting in a top-three performance in FP3, in a surprise surge to the front for Mercedes.

After falling behind their rivals in Imola, Aston Martin look to have improved around the streets of Monaco, with Fernando Alonso setting the third-fastest time in FP2.

Both Red Bulls struggled with bouncing in free practice, running their cars close to the ground, unable to match the pace of their rivals.

Max Verstappen bemoaned that the bumpy street circuit was giving him a 'headache', and that he was 'jumping around like a kangaroo' in his car during FP2.

Here are the timesheets from Friday in Monaco:
