Milesi Tops Rain-Soaked FP1 at Monza

Overview

• Charles Milesi set the fastest lap in Free Practice 1 at Monza with a 1:45.862 in the No. 35 Alpine as the 90-minute session finished on a drying but still wet track.
• The session was halted three times after incidents involving Antonio Fuoco, Robin Frijns, and James Cottingham, and the Cottingham contact with Mathieu Jaminet is being investigated by officials.
• Key entries logged very little track time, with the No. 92 Manthey Porsche kept in the garage by a drivetrain issue that limited Richard Lietz to just two flying laps on his 100th WEC start.
• LMGT3 saw late gains when Tom Fleming put the Garage 59 McLaren top of the class with a 1:57.575 as several teams improved on the drying line.
• Teams will head into Free Practice 2 later today expecting continued cold, wet conditions, so FP1 times are only provisional and may not reflect race pace or final setups.
