The four-time Red Bull Formula 1 champion finally debuted his superyacht "Unleash The Lion" at the rich and fabulous Monaco Grand Prix.

A purple first sector for Hamilton came to naught as he encountered heavy traffic in the second sector, while Leclerc popped in a big lap on his fourth tour with the soft tyre to drop into the 1:10s with a 1:10.953 to go almost three-tenths up on Verstappen.

F1 tweaked the tyre rules for this year’s Monaco Grand Prix to force teams to carry out two pitstops during the race.
