Anything can happen in the classification Monaco GP today (4:00 pm/DAZN), and in the first four positions of the last free practice session, FP3 held this afternoon, there were up to 4 different cars in the first 4 positions. A Ferrarithat of Leclercin the first place, followed by the leader of worldhe red bull of Verstappen (in 0″197), the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton in the third position (at 0″341) and the Piastri’s McLaren (at 0″532) in fourth. In Monaco qualifying, traffic is chaotic and anyone can be bitter. Also, any possible red flags for a more likely accident in any of the sessions. Just what you want. But the favorite must be Charles Leclerc.
This is because it is a one-lap beast and this Grand Prix fits it like a glove because classification is important. But what’s more, a twist is proving inescapable for now. He leads the Free Practice 3 after his superiority on Friday, yes, again at risk more than others, and there is the doubt about the classification. How much margin is left for Charles and how much for his rivals to get closer to the walls?
Verstappen had already set the record in the first sector at the end of the session but had to abort his turn due to traffic. It is necessary to see if Max has more to fight against a pole that seems written. But Leclerc had to finish it.
MD was positioned throughout Free Practice 3 at the exit of the pool chicane. There you can see who is going to the fire or giving more just by looking at the walls. And Charles was seen rubbing up against exit barriers, even moving advertising banners., than his opponents did. Perhaps confidence or hunger at the post and success at home to end the curse plaguing him in the Principality. Or maybe someone else was saved. But what is certain is the feeling from the track is that Charles takes things very easy, more so than anyone else. But Monaco is Monaco and you have to be careful. The walls are unforgiving.
However, the ease with which Charles does laps contrasts with his partner, Carlos Sainz. They have set up a new fund to see if it can solve the massive balance problem he had in FP2, a session in which Leclerc made no changes. Carlos said it was his “Worst Friday in Monaco in 10 years of racing”. He couldn’t make the necessary adjustments and went for it in FP3, but couldn’t complete a good lap.
He was 7th, 0.610 behind his teammate behind Pérez (5th), Russell (6th). And in qualifying, Ferrari would put Leclerc home first, making him exit Q3 ahead of Carlos. Let’s see if this time Sainz doesn’t get stuck in Monaco traffic in that final and decisive session.
Alonso, 10th
After third place in Free Practice 3, Fernando Alonso It was 0″718. The man from Oviedo, in a session where he had to keep the car intact, was not seen to take any risks before qualifying. He will test it this afternoon with an Aston Martin where his first goal should be overcome all the dangers and elements of Monaco to enter Q3, he will try to maximize the potential of his car with the hands that will count more in Monaco. Let’s see how much more green that car is. Ferrari, Red Bull, McLaren and Mercedes there.
Fernando Alonso finished behind Norris (8th at 0″619) and Tsunoda (9th at 0″622). RB will again be a rival for that Q3.
