Ferrari heads into the third and final hour of free practice at the Monaco Grand Prix looking to make it a clean sweep of the preparation sessions.
Home hero Charles Leclerc topped FP1 before Lewis Hamilton in the other SF-26 took over for FP2.
However, the Monegasque driver dominated practice in the Principality a year ago, before falling short in qualifying, so whilst the Scuderia has failed to shake its 'favourites' tag, it is far from a done deal around a circuit that is notoriously difficult to overtake at on Sunday.
Max Verstappen has defied expectations with a strong showing so far around the streets of Monte Carlo, and will look to consolidate that on qualifying Saturday.
Mercedes is anticipated to come to the fore when it matters, but George Russell and Kimi Antonelli have looked a shade off the Ferraris. How will they fare in FP3?
McLaren has work to do after Lando Norris endured a heavily curtailed second hour of running on Friday, with Oscar Piastri only able to go seventh fastest in that session.
