Daniel Ricciardo quickest again as Red Bull dominates opening Monaco practices

Daniel Ricciardo kept himself and Red Bull top of the order by recording the quickest time of second practice in Monaco, finishing half a second quicker than Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel in third.

Ricciardo had gone quickest in the morning and he found more pace in time for FP2, dropping the benchmark down to 1:11.841 -- a time already over 0.3s quicker than the time Kimi Raikkonen recorded with his pole position lap in 2017. Red Bull has been tipped as the favourite to win this weekend due to the strength of its chassis on a circuit dominated by low-speed corners and with no significantly long straights to punish its Renault power unit.
