HIGHLIGHTS: Relive FP1 in Monaco as Leclerc finishes fastest despite Stroll collision
Charles Leclerc finished fastest in the opening practice session for the Monaco Grand Prix, despite having brought out an early red flag for a collision with Lance Stroll.
The Ferrari driver, who won his home race 12 months ago, collided with the back of the Aston Martin driver into the Loewes Hairpin after the Canadian moved back onto the racing line, with red flags deployed for several minutes to remove debris.
With a new nosecone fitted, Leclerc posted a 1m 11.964s around the midway point of the one-hour session, and despite complaining of issues with his car, it left him 0.163s clear of reigning World Champion Max Verstappen.
McLaren's Lando Norris finished third having run deep at both Sainte Devote and the Nouvelle Chicane, with team mate and Drivers' Championship leader Oscar Piastri in fifth having believed he clipped the wall at one stage.
