  1. Lap 41/78

    The TV cameras find a downcast Fernando Alonso walking back to the paddock. The two-time world champion will have to wait to score his first points of the season.

    Carlos Sainz, George Russell and Kimi Antonelli are still yet to make a pit stop in this race.

  2. Alonso retires in Monaco

    Lap 39/78

    Fernando Alonso parks up at Rascasse as the marshals rush over to help his stricken Aston Martin.

    Meanwhile, Lando Norris is told he has a five-second advantage over Charles Leclerc behind but if he can use a bit more pace, that would be grand.

    There is a lot of people out there wondering if there is going to be a safety car.

    They're looking for an opportunity because at the moment we have got a bit of stasis, a bit like setting cement, they can't actually move where they are and they can't think of a strategy how to get past the guy in front.

  4. Alonso out

    Lap 38/78

    That's Fernando Alonso's day over in Monaco. The Spaniard gets to a safe position in the Aston Martin so there's no need for any intervention.

  5. Lap 37/78

    So, we've seen a few drivers working together to help each other out with this two-stop race.

    Oh, hang on... Fernando Alonso has stopped!

  6. Lap 36/78

  8. Lap 35/78

    Oscar Piastri is a purple lapper once again in third place, as his McLaren team-mate Lando Norris is in possession of a 6.2-second gap to home hero Charles Leclerc in first spot.

  9. Lap 34/78

    Alex Albon is in for a first stop in the Williams and bolts on a set of the mediums, rejoining in 10th place. Team-mate Carlos Sainz is still out on his hards, just behind in 11th place.

    It looks like Lando Norris lost a good couple of seconds on that lap through slow cars in front of him compared to Charles Leclerc.

  11. Lap 33/78

    Max Verstappen has travelled back in time to the 1972 Monaco Grand Prix - well, at least is car has, as he complains his shifts feel like they are from that race 53 years ago. The Dutchman is fourth and his Red Bull is struggling.

  12. Andrew Benson
    BBC F1 correspondent in Monaco

    Aston Martin have obviously told [Fernando] Alonso to back everyone up, but I don't understand why because all it's doing is bringing him closer to [Isack] Hadjar, who's already made two pit stops and Alonso has got to make the second one himself. They're giving up the chance to beat anyone ahead of them. I don't understand the thinking behind that, but maybe it will become more apparent later in the race.

  14. Lap 31/78

    Race leader Lando Norris laps George Russell in the Mercedes. It's been a weekend to forget for the Silver Arrows. Russell is in 12th and Italian Kimi Antonelli is one place behind in 13th.

    If at the end of the race the drivers are on a hard tyre and Max Verstappen is on a soft tyre, he would need a three-second lap difference to pass.

    He might well have it and it might be a tactic so they have a racy car at the end and actually get past people, it will be interesting to see what kind of pace he can pull.

    There he is, the Red Bull driver has blinked and he is into the pitlane, pulls into the Red Bull box. Mechanics ready and waiting to go to work. Up and down super quickly. And he's back out. Where is he going to feed out? That is the question.

  17. Lap 30/78

    Oscar Piastri is on the radio to ask why aren't the blue flags waving, as the slower cars are backing up the frontrunners. Oliver Bearman, meanwhile, has a huge slide at Turn 15 at the swimming pool and clatters over the kerb.

  18. Lap 29/78

    The Monaco Grand Prix is back to were it started: Lando Norris in P1 followed by Charles Leclerc, Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen.

    Lewis Hamilton, after his three-place grid penalty, is now fifth ahead of Ferando Alonso and rookie Isack Hadjar.

  19. Verstappen pits

    Lap 28/78

    Red Bull are readying themselves for a visit by Max Verstappen - and here he is. The Dutchman swaps hards for mediums and comes out behind Oscar Pisatri and into fourth.

  20. 'Verstappen yet to pit'

    Harry Benjamin
    BBC F1 Commentator in Monaco

    Max Verstappen is leading this race but is yet to pit and he has to take the first of two mandatory pit stops at some point.

    He started on the hard tyre which is the most durable one and he's fighting to perhaps get the overcut on Oscar Piastri or hoping for a safety car to come out.

    Those who are yet to pit are surely hoping for some sort of safety car intervention to help them out.
