F1 Results Today: Monaco Grand Prix practice times and positions

Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton was back on top in FP2 at the Monaco Grand Prix as a red flag brought the session to an early end.

As predicted, Ferrari were dominant in both FP1 and FP2 on Friday, with Charles Leclerc setting the fastest time in the first session and Hamilton going fastest in the second.

Max Verstappen finished P3 in both sessions, while the Mercedes' of George Russell and Kimi Antonelli occupied the fourth and fifth spots in FP2, their positions reversed for FP1.

Sergio Perez brought an early end to FP2, as did Fernando Alonso in FP1, by causing a red flag. Smoke was seen coming from Perez's Cadillac and the ex-Red Bull star was forced to park the car into Casino Square with his front-right brakes on fire.

Another talking point of FP2 was a strange incident involving reigning champion Lando Norris, who stopped on track at the harbourside chicane and got out of his car.

Zak Brown later confirmed that he lost power and that the issue could be battery related; but the fact remains, Norris lost a lot of crucial track time ahead of qualifying on Friday.

Earlier on Friday during FP1, Isack Hadjar crashed his RB22 at the Swimming Pool chicane which instantly prompted a red flag. Hadjar walked away from the incident, but the collision with the wall caused significant damage to the car, completely ripping off his front wing.

Explaining the incident over team radio, Hadjar said: "I don’t understand why it snapped off like that. I’m sorry.”

A brief flash on internal drama also occurred with Haas earlier in FP1, when Esteban Ocon voiced his displeasure with team-mate Ollie Bearman. The French driver claimed the youngster blocked him twice, and to this, Bearman declared his team-mate was being 'stupid' and referred to Ocon as an 'idiot'.
