While all of Holland this afternoon I lay baking on the beach and later on for the barbecue was in Monaco and worked very hard. The circus has landed in the dwergstaatje of the richy rich, and so they start a tradition, a day before the free practices.
For Max Verstappen were both training sessions is not flawless. It was Lewis Hamilton the first free practice as the fastest knew. Max had to make do with a respectable third place, but this was not without a fight. A portion of the first free training was spent in the pits because the car of Max damage suffered to the floor. Max had Vettel for themselves. Valtteri Bottas took fourth place and team-mate Ricciardo was hekkensluiter of the top five.
Also the second free practice was not without its problems. Max had issues with the gearbox. Toro Rosso drivers Daniil Kvyat and Carlos Sainz made an impression with a fourth and fifth place. Max finished in P6. “Despite a bit of a messy #FP2 we had quite a good Thursday. Our pace isn’t too far off. Still some work to do!”, thus, the 19-year-old driver on Twitter.
Lance Stroll complained that he no grip should have. The Canadian driver lost the control and crashed against the barrier at the height of the casino. Code was red flagged and the cars of Stroll had to be weggetakeld. During the second free practice was Vettel the fastest. The top three also consisted Ricciardo and Ferrari driver were times on three. Mercedes-riders Bottas and Hamilton knew both of them not to make an impression. Hamilton had the P8 and Bottas finished on P10.
