Leclerc fastest for Ferrari in Monaco after collision with Stroll

Charles Leclerc set the fastest time for Ferrari in Friday's first practice at the Monaco Grand Prix despite colliding with Lance Stroll on the Monte Carlo street circuit.
The collision occurred because Stroll unexpectedly moved onto the racing line while allowing a car through at the Loews Hairpin, leaving Leclerc little time to react and causing the crash.
The incident caused extensive front wing damage to Leclerc's car, forcing a red flag while both drivers were summoned to the stewards and Stroll's session ended due to suspension and gearbox damage.
The stewards ruled Stroll 'wholly to blame' for the collision, imposing a one-place grid penalty and adding a penalty point to his FIA superlicence, which now totals three points.
Despite the early setback disrupting Leclerc's rhythm, he maintained pace by posting a 1:11.964 fastest lap, suggesting Ferrari remains competitive on the tight and twisty Monaco circuit.
