The most glamorous weekend of Formula 1 has arrived! The Monaco Grand Prix weekend kicks off at 10am on Thursday morning as the first practice session gets underway. Follow our liveblog, posted below, for all of the updates from the first session in Monte Carlo!
More Mercedes?
In this session, we'll get our first taste of what's to come this weekend, but do we really need it? Mercedes has dominated the 2019 Formula 1 season so far and look to extend their run of one-twos six on Sunday. But will Ferrari find some pace in the corners? Or will Max Verstappen redeem himself from his crash 12 months ago to split the Silver Arrows?
In terms of the midfield, Renault is slipping away. McLaren, Racing Point and Haas lead the way in this battle. Both Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen have been performing well in qualifying, and with qualifying extra important in Monaco, Haas might have a good chance to take a decent points total from Monaco.
