After running in Monaco, Alonso criticised the hybrid-heavy direction of the sport and described the cars as a serious problem around Monte Carlo. That matters because Monaco exposes everything: weight, traction, engine deployment, braking confidence, energy recovery and how naturally a car flows through the streets. If one of F1’s most experienced drivers is saying the 2026 cars feel wrong here, the debate around Formula 1’s future gets even louder. 🟠 McLAREN AND NORRIS PRACTICE FAILURE McLaren also had a difficult day in Monaco, with Lando Norris calling for answers after a costly practice issue. At Monaco, lost track time hurts more than almost anywhere else. Every lap builds confidence, every sector matters, and if Norris is already chasing lost rhythm before qualifying, McLaren could be under major pressure. ⚠️ MERCEDES AND GEORGE RUSSELL FIA FINE Mercedes were also punished after George Russell committed a minor pit-lane speeding breach during FP1, with the FIA issuing a fine. It is not a huge sporting penalty, but in Monaco everything gets magnified. Mercedes are fighting to protect their advantage, Russell needs a clean weekend, and even small mistakes can become part of a bigger pressure story. 🏁 MONACO GP FP1 AND FP2 ROUND UP We’ll also break down everything we learned from Monaco GP practice. Ferrari looked strong early, with Charles Leclerc setting the pace in FP1 and Lewis Hamilton close behind, giving Ferrari real hope on a circuit where raw Mercedes power may matter less. Red Bull, McLaren and Mercedes all have questions to answer, while the tight Monaco layout means confidence, tyre warm-up, traffic and qualifying preparation could decide the entire weekend.
