Summary
Charles Leclerc set the pace in first practice for his home Monaco Grand Prix, finishing 0.226 seconds ahead of Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton in a one-two.
Max Verstappen was 0.513 seconds off Leclerc in third, followed by Mercedes pair Kimi Antonelli and George Russell, while Lando Norris could manage only sixth.
Isack Hadjar hit the barriers at the second Swimming Pool chicane after losing the rear on entry, and Fernando Alonso narrowly avoided a heavier crash at the harbour-front chicane.
Ferrari looked quick throughout but not fully settled, with both drivers taking escape roads and Leclerc catching a big oversteer slide at Sainte Devote.
