Summary
Lewis Hamilton set the fastest time in Monaco's second practice after Charles Leclerc had led the opening session, giving Ferrari a one-two finish in both Friday runs.
That pace boost comes at a track where Ferrari last won in 2024, when Leclerc took victory on home streets in Monte Carlo.
Saturday's qualifying starts at 15:00 BST and is likely to be decisive on Monaco's tight circuit, with dry, sunny conditions forecast around 23C.
The Monaco weekend opens the European stretch of the 2026 season and round six, with Kimi Antonelli arriving 43 points ahead of Mercedes team-mate George Russell after four straight wins.
