What happened: The second free practice session of the Monaco Grand Prix entered its final 10 minutes as cars navigated the historic street track. The session is part of a milestone weekend as McLaren gears up for historic 1000th Grand Prix at Monaco. Drivers utilized the closing moments to finalize their car setups and lock in crucial tire data.

Why it matters: Practice laps on the tight street circuit of Monaco are exceptionally vital, given that passing during the actual race is notoriously difficult. The telemetry and tire degradation data collected in these final minutes will directly dictate qualifying strategies, where securing a strong grid position is paramount.

What to watch: Teams will evaluate their telemetry overnight ahead of the third practice session and the weekend's highly anticipated qualifying rounds.
