F1 2025 Monaco GP LIVE: Practice updates, stream and results

Session back on – every car out on track other than Lance Stroll, who is in the garage. His car must have sustained some damage in the crash too!

Norris quickest early on with a 1:13:036, four-tenths quicker than Max Verstappen in second (hard tyres) and Piastri a smidge further back.

Leclerc goes into the back of Stroll at the hairpin!

Leclerc: “Come on, uh we crashed, I don’t think he was aware about the blue flags.”

Leclerc’s wing is damaged, but he makes his way back to the pits with a damaged front-wing!

Red flag because of bits of carbon on the track!

The Racing Bulls of Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson are the first cars straight out on track in Monaco!

A host of cars quickly follow!

It’s time for the first of three practice sessions in Monaco!

A beautiful summer’s day in the principality as the drivers look to immediately get in tune with their cars around this unique circuit!

“I like the idea, let’s give it a chance. It depends on safety cars or red flags, if they happen. I’m surprised they haven’t said one pit-stop must be in the second half of the race.

“Will the frontrunners hang on to pit on the penultimate lap?

It does mean that you can’t get out in front, go at F2 race, and keep position.”

Verstappen did not attend the screening, opting to spend “private time” with his family including newborn daughter Lily.

“I wanted to spend more private time,” he said. “There was the opportunity to watch it but if we watch it now or in three or four weeks its fine as well.”

Villeneuve, on punditry duties for Sky Sports F1, was critical of McLaren’s “really odd” approach to the finale in Imola.

“They [McLaren] show weakness, they don’t show the strength that Red Bull are always showing year after year,” said 1997 F1 world champion Villeneuve.

“It’s as if they’re afraid to be aggressive in trying to win the Drivers’ Championship, and they’re afraid to go against Piastri. It’s really, really odd.”

“It was lovely, handed an OBE by the Prince of Wales, I loved it. A beautiful day, we do pomp and ceremony so well in Britain.”
