With more twists and turns than the circuit itself, the Monaco Grand Prix certainly served up its fair share of drama.

Throughout the season so far, Lewis Hamilton has looked calm and confident in his pursuit of a second successive world title, but what will the impact of today be on him?

Two weeks until the next race - the Canadian Grand Prix and it can't come soon enough. Until then, goodbye.

It is just about time for us to call it a day so, as ever, I'll point you in the direction of Andrew Benson's race report. There will also be plenty of reaction to come later to a dramatic day of racing, and don't forget to watch the highlights show on BBC One at 17:05 BST.

Lewis Hamilton is undoubtedly a man who lives to break records and win titles. Today's strategy error has potentially cost him one record, with third place denying him a 13th consecutive top-two finish. That would have been the second longest streak ever.

Time to go again...

Lewis Hamilton has been speaking in the post-race news conference and is still managing to keep his real feelings in check.

"I can't express how I feel right now so I won't attempt to," he said. "But you live to fight another day."

Mercedes tweet:, external "To all our disappointed fans out there, we feel your pain. We got it wrong today and that's the simple fact. We will grow stronger from this."

Giedo van der Garde has dived in with some salient advice for Lewis Hamilton...

Rhys Clark: No matter how much you pay someone, you still just can't get the staff to do the job properly...

Alex Marks: What were Mercedes thinking. Track position is everything at Monaco, they should know that.

Peter Goodwin: Lewis has every right to be annoyed there. His team cost him a win.

Also, a fine result for Carlos Sainz who, after starting from the pit lane, finished 10th. His Toro Rosso team-mate Max Verstappen is, pleasingly, OK after his big crash that sparked the late drama too.

It wasn't a memorable Monaco for Jenson Button's team-mate Fernando Alonso, though, after he was forced to retire during the race with what is thought to have been a gearbox issue. Despite his personal disappointment, he's still happy for the team.

Miserable Monaco for Lewis Hamilton but it will be Memorable Monaco for McLaren and Jenson Button. The Briton picked up the team's first points of the season by finishing eighth. A much-needed positive step forward after a torrid start to 2015.

Former world champion Nigel Mansell: "I was told to stay out in Australia and the tyre blew, I wish I had come in. Point is you can't win."

kev smith: how can it be controversial ending - all drivers are allowed to race are they not ? or is it one rule for Lewis Hamilton and one rule for Nico Rosberg.

David Devoy: Surely Lewis Hamilton is just as much to blame? He should be capable of deciding whether he needs tyres or not.

Oh to be a fly on the wall for this debrief! As Jennie Gow tweets: "Debrief has begun already."

Benedict Salido: If Hamilton loses this championship to Rosberg by only a few points at the end of the season, this race will always be remembered.

James Locke: Huge shame for Lewis. But to label Nico's win 'undeserved' is disrespectful. Simply finishing at Monaco is an achievement

Edson Charikinya: If you left your sofa at Lap 65 only to come back an hour later to see that Rosberg has won you would be quiet baffled at the outcome.

Former world champion Nigel Mansell: "Years gone by I have come in for a stop in lead and gone out on three wheels and not finished race mistakes happen.

"Just in one word it's embarrassing, however remember people are human they make mistakes."

Sebastian Vettel, who finished second: "We were there in the moment when it mattered and able to pip Lewis when he came out of the pits. When we decided to pit we were a bit too far back but nevertheless, second is a great finish for the team.

"The thing is these tyres are not made for cooling down and going again. Me and Nico saved the tyres earlier because we maybe knew we couldn't attack Lewis too much which helped when we restarted but it was incredibly difficult. After a few laps they warm up but at first it was hard."

A mature and measured response from Lewis Hamilton. Fair play.
