Hamilton goes secondpublished at 11:47 British Summer Time
Despite taking a bruising in Friday practice yesterday, Isack Hadjar finished in the top 10 in his Racing Bulls. The rookie said it was one of the toughest sessions he's faced in short his career, so how will he find pushing the limits on the narrow streets in an F1 car? Hadjar is on the softs and is third quickest, as Lewis Hamilton has just popped up with the second-fastest time to push him down the timesheets.
Hamilton is on the softs and is 0.023 seconds away from Hulkenberg's time - who has just locked-up towards the end of the lap - but the says the rear of the Ferrari is "sliding a lot".
'Two-stop is a good idea'published at 11:45 British Summer Time
Damon Hill
1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra in Monaco
I think [it being a two-stop race] is a good idea and it's confused everyone. This is all about qualifying, once you've qualified well you maybe have the upper ground and you can choose a bit of strategy gamesmanship here.
Hulkenberg goes toppublished at 11:43 British Summer Time
Nico Hulkenberg has been put on the medium tyre by Sauber for his opening runs and the German goes fastest with a 1:14.065. It's a relaxed start to final practice for the rest of the grid, with only six times on the board so far.
'Leclerc is fantastic on street circuits'published at 11:42 British Summer Time
Andrew Benson
BBC F1 correspondent in Monaco
Charles Leclerc loves street circuits generally and he's fantastic on them, especially so here. The car is alive when he's driving it.
What are the Monaco tyres?published at 11:39 British Summer Time
The C6 soft tyre, which made its debut in Imola, is back with us this weekend, along with the C5 as the medium and the C4 as the hard.
Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson goes purple in the first two sectors and crosses the line on his red-banded compound to go quickest with a 1:15.171.
There are only five cars out on track at the moment; Lewis Hamilton burnt through a set of hards and headed straight back to the pits.
'You can't predict who is going to go well here'published at 11:38 British Summer Time
Damon Hill
1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra in Monaco
Monaco is an outlier as a track, the setup, the cars, you can't predict who is going to go well here because what works at Monaco very rarely works anywhere else.
This is the kind of circuit where some drivers shine but other people feel intimidated and constrained, and they don't exactly get on it quite so well.
Postpublished at 11:34 British Summer Time
As Damon says, this is the day a driver wants to shine as brightly as possible but we did see a few mishaps yesterday. Poor Isack Hadjar's rear tyre took a beating after the Racing Bulls rookie was involved in two knocks with the barriers.
There were also plenty of cars dilly-dallying on the racing line; Lewis Hamilton had a dicey moment when he had to take late action to avoid an Alpine at the top of the hill into Massenet.
The likes of Hamilton and Hadjar have bolted on the hards early, Franco Colapinto goes C6 soft and goes top.
'This is where the really great drivers shine'published at 11:31 British Summer Time
Damon Hill
1996 world champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra in Monaco
This is one of the best days in the calendar.
This is where we see who drives to the limit, this is where the really great drivers shine.
I'm astonished, I can't believe I actually did it myself but I look at these guys and they're kissing the barriers.
Go! Go! Go!published at 11:30 British Summer Time
Little bit of cloud around in Monaco but the conditions are still glorious for a Saturday qualifying.

Monaco now a two-stop racepublished at 11:25 British Summer Time

All eyes are on the fight for pole position today but Sunday will see something fresh for Monaco - a mandatory two-stop race.
This new rule means drivers need to make at least two pit stops in the Principality, using two different tyres during the 78-lap grand prix.
If the weather takes a turn for the worse tomorrow (not that it's forecast to) then Pirelli have covered the bases with the intermediates and full wets so the two-stopper can still work.
The bosses hope this will bring the sparkle back to the jewel in the F1 crown, creating risks with strategy and aiding overtaking.
Leclerc tops Friday practicepublished at 11:22 British Summer Time

It was a mixed bag of emotions for Charles Leclerc yesterday. His Monaco weekend started with that Lance Stroll prang - see above - but by the end of the two hours of practice the Monegasque driver was feeling a lot happier following his table-topping times in both sessions.
Leclerc beat championship leader Oscar Piastri by 0.038 seconds in the more representative second session, with his Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton finishing third quickest.

Last year was Leclerc's redemption after heartache on home soil. Can he repeat that winning success in 2025? The chances, he says, are "low".
"Maybe a bit less convinced (it will be difficult) but I am not convinced the other way either, for now," he said.
"It is too early to feel very positive about the weekend but the Friday has been very positive for us."
Bearman given 10-place grid penaltypublished at 11:18 British Summer Time

Briton Oliver Bearman has it all to do in the Haas today. The 20-year-old overtook the Williams of Carlos Sainz under the red flags that were brought out following Oscar Piastri's nose-first crash at Sainte Devote in second practice.
Explaining their decision to dish out a 10-place grid penalty (and two penalty points), the stewards said while Bearman did receive a late message from his pit wall, there were at least two indicators to signal a red flag had been shown before he had passed Sainz.

Hello, folks. It's every Formula 1 driver's favourite day on the calendar - Monaco qualifying. The walls are close, the margins are fine and a costly mistake is only a lapse in concentration away. Put the entire lap together serenely, though, and pole gold will be yours to claim.
Final practice gets under way at 11:30 BST.
Qualifying goes green at 15:00 BST.

Friday's practice running was punctuated by a couple of red flags; Charles Leclerc's shunt into the back of Lance Stroll's Aston Martin coming very early on in the opening hour.
Stroll has been handed a one-place grid penalty for Sunday's race, as the stewards concluded he was "wholly to blame" for the incident.
The Canadian driver isn't the only one who has been punished with a grid drop this weekend...
