Here comes Max Verstappen...
Postpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time
Isack Hadjar and Nico Hulenberg have dropped into the relegation zone, joining Esteban Ocon Haas in trouble. Williams have finished with their Q2 medium run and have put Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon onto the C6 soft.

Max Verstappen looks like he still hasn't come out of the pits, he's either waiting to the very end or thinks that he's got enough but it's going to be a bit risky if he does that.
Norris goes toppublished at 15:50 British Summer Time
How on earth drivers adjust to the light when they come out of the tunnel. Lando Norris clocks a lap 0.011 seconds quicker than Charles Leclerc on the softs to push the Monegasque driver down into second spot.
Hamilton goes P2 on softspublished at 15:48 British Summer Time
The softs are also on for Lewis Hamilton and he's flying in the Ferrari as he reaches the swimming pool section. The seven-time world champion crosses the line and goes second quickest, 0.302 seconds behind his Scuderia team-mate Charles Leclerc.

Charles Leclerc has switched to the C6 soft from the C5 mediums. Fernando Alonso, meanwhile, has opted to come back out on the yellow rubber that worked so well for him last weekend in Imola.

1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra in Monaco
Your brain takes a while to warm up to the speed and these cars are really fast.
The precision to which they are driving through the fast sections and the closeness they have to get to the barriers to be quick is just a thing to behold.
It only takes a fraction of a second and a loss of concentration and it's all over, as Kimi Antonelli has found out.
Green lightpublished at 15:45 British Summer Time
Will Mercedes just roll every dice in the casino for tomorrow's new two-stop grand prix?
Off we go again on the soft and medium tyres.

Both Mercedes cars fail to reach Q3 for the first time since Imola 2022, which is their only previous instance since Suzuka 2012.
'Doesn't seem to be the circuit for Merecdes'published at 15:41 British Summer Time
Damon Hill
1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra in Monaco
Mercedes don't have the car they would like, they've been knocking on the door but they've never broken through yet.
Somehow George Russell will find a way and Mercedes will find a way but it doesn't seem to be the circuit for them.
Track clearpublished at 15:41 British Summer Time
Before George Russell stopped, Lando Norris went quickest with a 1:10.959 followed Max Verstappen. Both drivers are on the C6 softs, Charles Leclerc in third is running the mediums.
I think we're ready to go again - in three minutes' time.
Marshals on the scenepublished at 15:39 British Summer Time
The marshals have arrived in the tunnel to take the Mercedes away to safety. The gremlins in George Russell's car sounded like they started as he was blasting up the hill and then continued until he reached the darkness of the tunnel and came to a stop. Russell is P14, one place ahead of his team-mate Kimi Antonelli.
'This is a disaster for Mercedes'published at 15:37 British Summer Time
Harry Benjamin
BBC F1 Commentator in Monaco
George Russell is out of qualifying. He's reached the top five in every qualifying so far this year, that comes to an end in Monaco. He's got no time on the board and he's 14th.
This is a disaster for Mercedes.
'Game over' for Russellpublished at 15:36 British Summer Time
George Russell is shaking his head as he's told by his engineer it's 'game over' for his Monaco qualifying. Battery issues look to have curtailed his running in Q2.
Russell stops in the tunnelpublished at 15:34 British Summer Time
George Russell is saying he has lost power and now he is crawling to a stop in the tunnel. Cars go by slowly as the Briton tries to get going again.
Leclerc top on mediumspublished at 15:33 British Summer Time
Williams and Ferrari have bolted on the mediums at the start of the Q2. The Italian team were knocked out in Imola seven days ago - two weeks in a row would be a disaster.
Liam Lawson and Fernando Alonso have had time at the top on softs but Leclerc goes quickest with a 1:13.314.
