I didn't follow FP1 fully, saw Fernando had brake issues and lost most of the session time but what about Stoffel? The FP1 standings don't look that positive.

He was lapping most of the time, I saw some flo-vis on his front wing as well. Maybe they weren't going for max pace laps. Fernando's first flying lap 's sector 1 was only 8 tenths off RIC's time but he dropped a lot by the second sector.

8 tenths off in a sector on Monaco is A LOT.

This year is a write off. It's just painful to watch McLaren struggle like this. Having a hard time competing with teams like Haas and Force India. #-o

Pace doesn't look too bad actually. Qually is going to be tight! There's definitely a good chance of both McLarens reaching Q3 here. A lot of teams are really struggling with their tyres, particularly the Hypers. Could be an opportunity for McLaren who, like Red Bull, look to be kinder on them. Going to be a lottery!
