What happened: Lewis Hamilton topped Friday's second practice in Monaco after Charles Leclerc led the opening session. The results backed Lando Norris' warning about Ferrari's potential pace.
Why it matters: Ferrari's speed puts it in a strong position before Monaco's crucial qualifying session. Hamilton and Leclerc controlled Friday's running, but practice pace may not fully reflect the competitive order.
By the numbers: Hamilton's 1:13.026 lap led Leclerc by 0.111 seconds and Max Verstappen by 0.168 seconds in FP2. Ferrari finished first and second in both Friday sessions.
What to watch: Qualifying on Saturday will show whether Ferrari can convert its practice pace into pole position. The Monaco Grand Prix follows Sunday.
