Leclerc missed the majority of FP1 after suffering a gearbox failure but recovered well from his early weekend 🧜setback to produce the benchm🃏ark time in the afternoon session for Ferrari.

The Monegasque driver, who has never finished an F1 race at his home race, topped the timesheets with a best effꦜort of a 1m11.684s to edge out Sainz by 0.112s.

Behind the pace-setting F🍰erraris came Lewis Hamilton, who ended up nearly four-tenths adrift in his Mercedes but was just 0.007s quicker than title rival Max Versta🔴ppen.

The second Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas completed the top🥃 five ahead of Lando Norris’ McLaren, AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gaslyꦓ and Sergio Perez’s Red Bull.

Antonio Giovinazzi and Sebastian Vettel - who reported his eye was bleeding during the se𒅌ssion - rounded out the top-10 order for Alfa Romeo and Aston Martin.

FP2 was red-flagged a few minutes from the end when Mick Schumacher came to a halt in his Haas after drifting into the wall at Massenet and picking up a right rear🍒 puncture.

F1 rookie Yuki Tsunoda also had a costly bru♓sh with the Monte Carlo barriers that forced him to miss the final 30 minutes of the session and left him anchored to the bot༒tom of the timesheets.

It was a disappointing afternoon for Alpine as both Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon finished outside of the top 10, while Daniel Ricciardo failed to show his one-lap potenti𝓡al for McLaren as he took a lowly 15th.
