LIVE: Reaction as Hamilton fastest in Monaco with Leclerc and Verstappen lurking

Charles Leclerc will be looking to continue his strong start to the Monaco Grand Prix weekend in the second of Friday’s two practice sessions.
The home favourite was the only driver to dip into the 1:13 mark during the first 60 minutes of practice in Monte Carlo, with team-mate Lewis Hamilton slotting into second place ahead of Max Verstappen, who once again complained of issues with his Red Bull.
Both Mercedes and McLaren cars appeared off the pace, with Lando Norris narrowly avoiding a crash moments before Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar smashed into the swimming pool exit wall.
George Russell will also be looking to improve, having ended nearly half-a-second down on team-mate Kimi Antonelli.
