Verstappen dominates free practice 2 in Monaco ahead of Ferraris

Only 6th in the first tests contested earlier in the afternoon, the Dutchman, who complained a lot about clutch problems and the difficulty of driving the RB19, seems to be recovering.

On Friday evening, the reigning double world champion is ahead of the Ferraris of Monegasque Charles Leclerc and Spaniard Carlos Sainz, at the origin of the only red flag of the session, after hitting the wall around fifteen minutes. Time to remove the car, the session was able to continue again.

Another Spaniard follows, Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin), Englishman Lando Norris (McLaren) and Lewis Hamilton (Merdedes), another Red Bull of Sergio Pérez and Finn Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo).

French Alpine drivers Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon complete the Top 10.
