Max Verstappen narrowly beat the two Ferrari driver to set the fastest time at the end of FP2 for the Monaco Grand Prix after Red Bull-Honda changed the setup of the RB19. Sergio Pérez was unable to match the progress of his team mate, the Mexican still gaining 1.1s between sessions but dropping to P7, more than half a second behind his team mate. Like in FP1, Stroll was no match for the veteran, ending the session in P11, half a second slower than his team mate. For Mercedes FP2 didn’t bring the confirmation of the progresses expected from the W14, with Hamilton only 6th quickest, half a second away from Verstappen, while Russell was more than 0,2s behind the veteran, down in 12th place. Rookie Piastri was way more circumspect, ending he session in P18, lapping more than 0.7s slower than his team mate.
