MONACO (Reuters) - Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton was fastest but teenage rookie Max Verstappen stood out with an eye-catching practice performance on a rainy Thursday at the Monaco Grand Prix.

Hamilton, fresh from signing a new three-year deal with Mercedes, was quickest around the tight street circuit on a cool morning and then lapped in a day's best of one minute 17.192 before rain limited running in the afternoon.
