What can the rest do?published at 16:14 British Summer Time
McLaren have banked their laps earlier, so what can the rest of the field do? The time to beat is 1:10.125.

If you don't go fast enough the car will turn in earlier than if you were going a bit quicker.
If you turn in too early you hit the barrier, so it's an odd thing but you have to be pushing the car so that it slides and then just drifts and then just gets past the barrier.
Norris back on toppublished at 16:13 British Summer Time
But Lando Norris finds 0.015 seconds and snatches that front-row spot out of the hands of his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri.

Oscar Piastri jumps to the top with a 1:10.140.

Lando Norris is the man holding onto Monaco provisional pole but Oscar Piastri is putting together a tidy lap in the first and middle sectors...

'Albon has found form'published at 16:11 British Summer Time

1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra in Monaco
Alex Albon has found a lot of form this year and he's probably motivated by having Carlos Sainz as a team-mate.
Albon has established quite a good first run.
Postpublished at 16:10 British Summer Time
So it's Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton are the top five drivers. Alex Albon and Esteban Ocon are sixth and seventh on the medium compound.
Verstappen goes P4published at 16:09 British Summer Time
Max Verstappen passes the crowds at Turn 17 and crosses the line to go fourth on the timesheets. The world champion is two tenths down on Lando Norris' provisional pole time.

1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra in Monaco
The fact of the matter is now we're thinking about a world championship, these drivers know it's not just about Monaco.
Oscar Piastri knows he's got to maintain his advantage over his team-mate[Lando Norris] as the world championship could depend on it.
Norris goes toppublished at 16:07 British Summer Time
Oscar Piastri puts down the opening marker with a 1:10.531 but that's beaten by his papaya team-mate Lando Norris - but only by 0.067 seconds. Charles Leclerc sits third after his first flyer.

Alex Albon and Esteban Ocon are putting their chips on yellow in Q3. The rest have opted for the usual soft tyre.
'Hadjar has done an amazing job'published at 16:05 British Summer Time
Damon Hill
1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra in Monaco
Liam Lawson has been quite competitive but Isack Hadjar has just done an amazing job.
It's very easy to get your head down after a mistake and feel intimidated by this circuit, but Hadjar fought back and he's had a fantastic performance to put it up in the top 10.

Go! Go! Go!published at 16:04 British Summer Time
Esteban Ocon was delighted to claim a stop in the top 10 shootout. The Haas man heads out with the rest of the high rollers.
Who has the pace over one lap in Monaco? We're about to find out...
'I'll try my best' - Bearmanpublished at 16:00 British Summer Time
Rosanna Tennant speaking to Oliver Bearman, who starts tomorrow's race from the back of the grid: "The two-stop will make life interesting at least for me starting from last. I think there's some chances tomorrow, so I'll try my best."
On tyre strategy: "On one lap the soft is quite similar to the medium, the medium can do more laps because it overheats a bit less, the soft ultimately provides slightly more grip. It's an interesting dynamic. I honestly would have liked more mediums, but we don't have enough to fully understand how they perform. But both are similar, which makes things interesting for the weekend."
Tsunoda unhappypublished at 15:59 British Summer Time
Yep, he probably is cursing his luck, Damon. Carlos Sainz exits stage left as Williams team-mate Alex Albon rubs shoulders with the two McLarens and Charles Leclerc. Lando Norris was quickest in Q2, 0.011 seconds ahead of the Ferrari of Leclerc.
Sainz said he no "no grip" on what was actually the soft tyre.
Yuki Tsunoda's team radio is a downcast one. The Japanese driver is unhappy with Red Bull's strategy in that session.
Both Racing Bulls cars, meanwhile, are through to the pole shootout.

Will Carlos Sainz be regretting that medium tyre? His team-mate [Alex Albon] went on the soft [tyre] and is currently sitting third-quickest.

11. Carlos Sainz (Williams)

13. Nico Hulkenberg (Sauber)
14. George Russell (Mercedes, no time)
15. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes, no time)
Albon P3published at 15:55 British Summer Time
Wow. Great lap by Alex Albon to shoot up the order to third on the timesheets.

That would have been a very useful lap for Max Verstappen to feel the tyres and the grip of the track and get himself settled down for the final qualifying run.
