Formula 1 championship leader Oscar Piastri believes McLaren has the pace to compete for pole position at the Monaco Grand Prix - as long as it can recover from a “very messy” Friday.Piastri escaped lasting damage after going straight into the tyre wall at Sainte Devote just 19 minutes into the second free practice session and recovered to set the second-fastest time.

Ahead of the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix, McLaren is turning back the clock. Back to 1968. The team unveiled a bespoke livery for this year’s Monaco Grand Prix, a design that pays tribute to the M7A, the car that Bruce McLaren drove to secure the team’s first Grand Prix win at the 1968 Belgian Grand Prix.
