Albon’s Williams team-mate Carlos Sainz was seventh ahead of Pierre Gasly in the Alpine.

Lewis Hamilton was classified ninth – more than seventh tenths slower than Leclerc’s benchmark – having survived a mistake at the exit of the Swimming Pools section, where his car was briefly launched into the air.

Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin completed the top 10.

Further back, Alonso’s Aston Martin team-mate Lance Stroll failed to post a representative time after a clash with Leclerc in the hairpin in the early moments of the session.

The incident is subject to an FIA investigation at the time of writing.
