[9] The second free practice session was held on the same day, at 17:00 local time,[1] and was topped by Charles Leclerc of Ferrari ahead of Hamilton and Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin.

[10] The third free practice session was held on 25 May 2024, at 12:30 local time,[1] and was topped by Leclerc ahead of Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing and Hamilton.

A red flag was observed after the Sauber of Valtteri Bottas struck the wall at the swimming pool section, causing suspension damage.

[17] Meanwhile, Leclerc's teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. picked up a puncture after contact with second-placed Oscar Piastri and dropped down to sixteenth, running wide into the casino corner, and as the Alpines exited Portier, Esteban Ocon squeezed himself into the path of Pierre Gasly, pitching the former's car upward.

[18] Sainz, who was running in sixteenth, benefitted from the red flag facilitating a grid reset, as Zhou had not passed the first timing sector before the race was suspended.

Of the top ten, only Hamilton and Verstappen made further pit stops after gaining a wide enough lead over Tsunoda to do so without losing track position.

"[21] Leclerc kept the lead following the restart to win the race ahead of Piastri, who scored his first podium of the season for McLaren, Sainz, and Lando Norris.
