Monaco GP: Free Practice #3 - RE-CAP & TIMES

MONACO GP - FREE PRACTICE #3 - RE-CAP & TIMES

    Daniel Ricciardo topped the final free practice session during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend. 

    Ricciardo was fastest for Red Bull with a 1:11.786, just ahead of his team-mate, Verstappen, who did a 1:11.787. The duo had also topped the previous two practice sessions.

    In third was Sebastian Vettel with a 1:12.023. He was also followed by his team-mate, Raikkonen, who helped to keep both Scuderia Ferrari cars in the top 5 with a 1:12.142.

    Mercedes were the next two in the order with Hamilton in 5th and Bottas in 6th. Bottas suffered from damage to the back of his Mercedes after trying to get out of the Saint Devote run-off by performing a spin. However, he still finished with a time of 1:12.356.

    Although victorious on the time-sheets, Verstappen ended up having a heavy crash near the swimming pool area of the circuit. The crash left his car heavily damaged and requiring a new gearbox, which kept him out of qualifying later that day. Thankfully Verstappen was uninjured.

    Hartley, Gasly, Sainz and Sirotkin rounded up the top 10.
