Lance Stroll's Thursday running didn't go as smoothly as he would have hoped. After setting 44 clean laps in the morning, the Canadian crashed out of the second session. The 18-year-old made contact with the barriers at the top of the hill after losing the rear of the car.
Williams looks to be struggling in Monaco, as they have done for the past number of seasons. Today was Stroll's first experience around the unforgiving, twisting streets and he says he felt very good right up to the crash.
"The track is great and I was really happy with the car, but then there was the crash at the end. I just basically centred in looking for the limit, got onto the dirt a little bit and lost the rear. It was a typical street circuit mistake. I got into learning the circuit pretty quickly and I was happy with the day until then."
Stroll is confident he knows where he needs to improve and will make it his goal in the final practice session on Saturday to iron out his mistakes and prepare himself for the ultimate F1 challenge - qualifying at Monaco.
"What is good here is the tyre seems to be hanging on quite a bit, so we are able to do multiple push laps. In FP3 I am just going to build up my rhythm in that area, but I think I know pretty clearly in my head what I did wrong. I am going to look at the little areas I can improve on for Saturday, as I know we can do that and have a good day.
"I think corner eight and the last corner are the two places I need to improve on, but it really annoys me because every time I play the Playstation game it has always been those two corners that I couldn’t get right, and in reality it is still those two corners!"
