    Back slapping and smiles all round in the Red Bull garage. What a couple of race weekends they've had recently!

    That's a first career pole position for Daniel Ricciardo.

    "Come on!" he shouts. "High time. High BEEP time."

    Nico Rosberg cannot beat Daniel Ricciardo's time so the Australian is on pole position!

    Here comes Lewis Hamilton...third! A scrappy final sector.

    This is tense! Nico Rosberg and Daniel Ricciardo both slower than Lewis Hamilton through the first sector...

    Problems? What problems? Lewis Hamilton is fastest through the first sector...

    That Mercedes does NOT sound healthy

    Lewis Hamilton looks to have backed out of that lap and he crosses the line in 1:20.968, leaving him down in 10th. Does he still have problems? 

    This is it for him now. All or nothing with his next effort.

    I personally would have left him a little longer in the pit lane so the track conditions were at their absolute best for this one run he has to qualify.

    No traffic for Lewis Hamilton. The only bit of good news he has for this session.

    It's Monte Carlo or bust now for Lewis Hamilton...

    Second quickest for Nico Rosberg, three tenths down on Daniel Ricciardo.

    Advantage Red Bull after those first flying laps. Everyone is back to the pits, leaving Lewis Hamilton alone for his lap.

    Lewis Hamilton is coming back out. He's got a shot at this but he's going to need an absolute belter to beat Daniel Ricciardo.

    Sebastian Vettel goes second quickest with 1:14.552, almost a second slower than Daniel Ricciardo.

    If they can get this engine started, is he going to have time to do two runs or just one run?

  18. Postpublished at 14:02 British Summer Time 28 May 2016

    Nine minutes to go. Is Lewis Hamilton just going to have one shot at pole? Is he even going to get out there?

    Meanwhile, the first lot of times are coming in as Nico Hulkenberg goes quickest with 1:15.120.

    The Mercedes mechanics rush out to recover Lewis Hamilton and they've got a race against time to get him out there. 

    When will he catch a break?
