Monegasque racing driver Charles Leclerc dominated Saturday's final practice session at the Monaco Grand Prix, setting the pace for Ferrari with a commanding lap, while Lewis Hamilton's promising run ended abruptly after a crash.
The local hero and last year's Monaco winner recorded a blistering lap of 1 minute 10.953 seconds - the only driver to break the 1:11 mark - finishing 0.280 seconds ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen.
Leclerc's strong showing gave Ferrari hope of repeating their emotional 2024 victory. However, celebrations were tempered when Hamilton crashed near Casino Square, bringing out a red flag and halting the session.
Hamilton, who had shown competitive pace earlier, lost control of his Mercedes while closely trailing Kimi Antonelli and Esteban Ocon.
Buffeted by disturbed airflow, the seven-time champion clipped the barriers and sustained damage to both the front and rear of his car.
