Lewis Hamilton named the Monaco circuit as "the coolest track ever" after Ferrari showed promising results ahead of Monaco Grand Prix.
According to Sky Sports, ahead of Saturday's all-important qualifying Hamilton during the Friday, May 23, 2025, practice session show off some skills and finished third, just one tenth behind Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc who topped the pole.
Hamilton, who is yet to take Ferrari pole for a Grand Prix said, “It was awesome. It's the coolest track ever to drive. The most fun. Every year is such a blast. It doesn't matter what car you're in.”
"Obviously, it's helpful when you're in a car that feels good and is quick. With the grip, the speed, it's narrow, fast, the best rollercoaster ride of the year. It's such a privilege. Only 20 drivers drive this track,” he added.
Ferrari have endured a largely difficult 2025 and were not expected to contest for the win in Monaco but both drivers were on the pace early on, even with traffic incidents for Hamilton and a collision with Lance Stroll for Leclerc.
Even though there will be a mandatory two tyre changes for Sunday's race, which should spice up the Monaco Grand Prix, qualifying will still be critical since overtaking is so difficult.
