Alongside Hamilton, the two other podium sitters in Monaco, Kimi Antonelli and Isack Hadjar, and defending world champion Lando Norris will also not drive during the first session of the weekend at the circuit near Montmeló.
The full-time drivers missing out on the first 60 minutes will not have to worry too much either, as this will not be the first time they have driven at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya this year after the first pre-season test.
