Daniel Ricciardo was fastest in the Saturday free practice before qualifying for the Monaco Grand prix while his Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen crashed heavily in the final minutes of the session.

Ricciardo was fastest in all of the practices on the streets of the principality. Together with Verstappen, he dominated in all the hours of preparation.

The third free practice was the last chance for the F1 teams to prepare for qualifying and the race on Sunday. Hypersoft was the most preferred tyre. There were a couple of incidents, fortunately without grave consequences. Valtteri Bottas went out at Saint Devote. He touched the barriers while trying to get back on the track but his Mercedes was not heavily damaged.

The other similar incident was with Carlos Sainz until Verstappen crashed his car on the exit of the Swimming pool. Ricciardo passed him with a 0.001sec better time after the session’s restart.

The Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen were third and fourth, followed by their Mercedes rivals Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas.
