Big crash brings out late red flag during Monaco GP FP3

Race control immediately brought the session to a halt, with marshals dispatched to remove Bearman's damaged Haas and sweep the circuit clear before running could resume. The Brit was running in 13th place at the time of the accident.

The FIA subsequently confirmed that the damaged guardrail was being inspected by the race director before the session could resume.

Mercedes emerged as the pacesetter during the final practice session in Monaco, with Kimi Antonelli producing a series of increasingly competitive laps to take control of the timesheets ahead of qualifying. Ferrari remained firmly in the mix throughout, with Charles Leclerc repeatedly trading fastest laps with the Italian and continuing to show strong pace around his home circuit.

The battle at the front intensified as both drivers improved their benchmarks during the session, but Antonelli ultimately gained the upper hand when the field switched to fresh tyres. Leclerc looked capable of responding, only for traffic in the final sector to ruin what had been a highly promising lap.

A late red flag caused by a heavy crash brought running to a halt and left teams with virtually no time to mount a final challenge once the session resumed. As a result, Antonelli's earlier effort remained unbeaten, allowing the championship leader to finish FP3 on top ahead of Leclerc and Hamilton heading into a crucial qualifying session.
