Ferrari once again demonstrated their pace advantage at the Monaco Grand Prix, with Charles Leclerc topping timesheets ahead of qualifying for his home race.
Leclerc has previously been on pole twice in Monaco, but has never won the race, a fact that he is desperate to change this weekend, and if the three practice sessions are anything to go by, he and his Ferrari team have a good chance.
FP3 saw Max Verstappen bounce back with a second-place finish, but he has struggled to match Leclerc's impressive pace all weekend, and was moaning once again about his 'on a knife edge' RB20. Lewis Hamilton continued his good form around the track by rounding out the top three.
Around 15 minutes into the session, an unusual incident caught Hamilton out, when his former team-mate Valtteri Bottas was left stranded in the middle of the track, prompting a red flag.
Bottas slammed into the barriers and broke his front right wheel, leaving him grounded on the penultimate corner unable to go anywhere. A red flag was waved, but the positioning of Bottas' car surprised Hamilton as he was returning to the pits, and he too was stuck on track until marshals managed to recover the Finn's car.
