What happened: Red Bull Racing posted that FP1 for the Monaco Grand Prix had gone back to green, with Max heading out for the final 15 minutes of the session. Formula 1's session context showed opening practice had been interrupted, making late running more valuable on a circuit where rhythm and track position matter.
Why it matters: Lost practice time carries extra weight at Monaco because qualifying position is usually central to the weekend. The late run gave Red Bull a narrow window to gather setup data before the rest of the race-weekend program.
By the numbers: The 2026 Monaco Grand Prix is scheduled for Sunday, June 7, over 78 laps of the 3.337-kilometer Circuit de Monaco.
What to watch: Watch whether Red Bull can turn the late FP1 mileage into cleaner pace in the next practice session. Qualifying setup will be the key focus from here.
