Max Verstappen and Red Bull suffered an embarrassing defeat during FP2 at the Monaco Grand Prix, as Isack Hadjar crashed twice in the session.

Both Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda finished below the Racing Bulls of Hadjar and Liam Lawson, with the two youngsters impressing in P5 and P6.

However, Hadjar clipped the wall at the Nouvelle Chicane and damaged the rear of his Racing Bulls, instantly prompting a red flag before crashing again at the exit of Sainte-Devote.

The Frenchman was not the only driver to crash in FP2 with Oscar Piastri also making an uncharacteristic error, colliding with the barriers at Sainte-Devote.

Lewis Hamilton was involved in a scary crash during FP1 at the Monaco Grand Prix, whilst his team-mate Charles Leclerc collided with Lance Stroll.

Leclerc made it back out on track however, and with a new front wing, launched a significant comeback to top the timesheets in FP1.

The Ferrari of his seven-time champion team-mate briefly went airborne over the kerb at the exit of the Swimming Pool section, as Hamilton complained about traffic on the circuit.

"Ah **** mate, so much traffic. I have to box mate, I've just gone completely over the kerb mate," he said over team radio.

Leclerc collided into the back of Stroll when he tried to overtake at the hairpin, but the Aston Martin moved to the racing line and blocked Leclerc's entry into the corner.

The Monegasque driver lost the left half of his front wing due to the contact and slowly made his way back to the pits, with a red flag soon deployed to clear the debris off the track.

Stroll was ruled out of the first practice session due to damage from the crash, with the gearbox and rear suspension in need of changing before FP2.
