Ferrari’s quest for its first Monaco GP win since Michael Schumacher’s 2001 triumph got off to a good start when Sebastian Vettel proved fastest in Thursday practice.
Ferrari looked strong in both sessions, while rivals Mercedes struggled in the warmer conditions later in the day. Once again the Ferrari looked more consistent in different temperatures.
“I was pretty happy in the afternoon,” said Vettel. “In the morning, I was maybe a bit wild, touching the walls a couple of times, but the afternoon seemed a bit better. Still we have some work to do on the car.
