Lewis Hamilton topped first practice at the Monaco Grand Prix as Mercedes produced an encouraging showing at the famous street circuit.

​​​​​​Hamilton's time of 1:12.169s put him marginally clear of McLaren's Oscar Piastri, with the seven-time world champion's team-mate George Russell a tenth further back in third. Lando Norris, who like the top three did his fastest lap on the softest - and theoretically fastest - tyre compound, was fourth for McLaren.

Verstappen, who is seeking a fourth successive drivers' title, has not had things his own way over the last two races, with Norris winning in Miami before finishing less than a second behind the Red Bull after a late charge in Imola. The Dutchman warned on Thursday that the low-speed and bumpy nature of Monaco was unlikely to suit his RB20, and there were signs of his prediction coming true as he complained of the car being 'on a knife edge' over team radio.
