Monaco Grand Prix 2022: Sergio Pérez defeats Charles Leclerc in EL3
After taking part in free practice 1 and 2 of the Monaco Grand Prix, the drivers embarked on a final practice session. Relive the live from free practice 3 below.
After getting the best time of the first two free practice sessions of the Monaco Grand Prix, will Charles Leclerc manage to score a triple at the end of free practice 3? Although the Red Bulls are still as menacing, the Ferraris seem to be performing particularly well on the Monaco track. But the Monte-Carlo circuit, whose grip changed a lot over the weekend, is very unpredictable. He has also reserved a few surprises for the pilotswhich were in particular many to shoot straight at the Sainte-Dévote bend during free practice 1 and 2. The third session could thus we reserve some contingencies and its outcome should offer us a taste of qualificationswhich are often decisive in Monaco, where overtaking is very difficult to achieve.
