Leclerc tops the timesheets on Friday, Marko optimistic

On Friday, it was Charles Leclerc's day in Monte-Carlo. The Monegasque driver finished in first place in both FP1 and FP2.

Lewis Hamilton finished in third place in FP2, behind his teammate and Oscar Piastri. The British driver talked to F1 TV about his day in Monaco, explaining that he does not need to change many things on his SF-25.

"There are the subtle changes that are needed to make, so I will not be making many changes at all. We might change one small thing, like a bit of a tiny, quarter of a degree of camber or something like that, but maximum I think that would be it."

Helmut Marko is also positive, even as Max Verstappen finished in P10 in FP2. According to the Austrian advisor, Red Bull Racing "can be in front of the McLarens," he told GPblog among others.

Grid penalties already handed out

Heading into Qualifying, there are two grid penalties which will already influence the order for Sunday's Grand Prix.

To begin with, after his collision with Charles Leclerc in FP1, Lance Stroll got a one-place grid penalty.

Oliver Bearman got himself a 10-place grid penalty for a red flag infringement. The Briton overtook Carlos Sainz when the red flag was already waved, after Oscar Piastri went into the wall in Turn 1.
