The Monaco Grand Prix event kicked off with the first practice on the narrow green but dry street circuit.
Valtteri Bottas had a special helmet design. His helmet was painted the same as Mika Hakkinen's helmet was, to honour his Monaco victory 20 years ago.
This weekend is also the first race that the teams can use the new Pirelli Hyper soft (pink) version tyres.
The first driver to hit the unforgiving barriers of Monaco was rookie driver Sergey Sirotkin who drives at Williams.
Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull with both drivers Mac Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo were battling out who could set the fastest lap time.
At the end it was Ricciardo who was the fastest with an amazing lap time that is already 1.299 seconds faster than last year quickest lap time of FP1!
