Victor Martins led the Formula Renault Eurocup practice session in the first on-track action at the Monaco Grand Prix.

The Formula Renault rookie claimed top spot late on with a time of 1m31.524s just before a red flag brought an early end to the 45-minute session.

Martins beat fellow Renault Sport Academy member Max Fewtrell, with 0.08 seconds between them.

The red flag came out after Fewtrell made contact with the barriers at the Swimming Pool and Alex Peroni (who ended the session sixth) crashed at Sainte Devote.

Max Defourny was third fastest ahead of Logan Sargeant and championship leader Yifei Ye.

Neil Verhagen took seventh in front of Oscar Piastri, Richard Verschoor and Charles Milesi.

Stand-out rookies Lorenzo Colombo and Christian Lundgaard took 11th and 12th respectively after taking turns on top of the times with 10 minutes remaining.
