12.00 – We begin our news with the results of FP1 and FP2.
Good morning dear readers of FormulaPassion.it and welcome to the appointment dedicated to the live coverage of the third free practice session of the Monaco GP, the eighth round of the 2024 F1 world championship.
In Monte-Carlo in these FP3 the attention will once again be on Ferrari, which yesterday dominated the afternoon free practice session with a hammering Charles Leclerc. Naturally, keep an eye on Red Bull and McLaren, from whom we expect an important response on the flying lap. For now, Mercedes has surprised with first place in FP1 and second in FP2 scored by Lewis Hamilton. The W15 suffers in terms of pace, but on the flying lap, and with a Hamilton like this, no result can be ruled out.
