The Sunday Times focuses on pole-sitter Daniel Ricciardo rather than Lewis Hamilton's mood, saying the Australian's "perma-grin" was "even wider than usual".

Claiming that Formula 1 has been experiencing "Mercedes fatigue", they add: "Fresh off the back of Dutch teenager Max Verstappen winning the Spanish Grand Prix two weeks ago, Ricciardo's pole is more good news for the sport when it needs it most."

The Sun on Sunday say Lewis Hamilton was "left fuming after another mechanical fault wrecked his chances of taking pole in Monte Carlo".

Describing the world champion as "grumpy", they referenced how Hamilton "discarded his microphone midway through a press conference".

They added: "He later buried his face in a bowl of strawberries and yoghurt while grunting curt responses to questions about his latest mechanical woes."

One hour to go until lights out, here's a look at the grid. 

Kimi Raikkonen has dropped five places after a gearbox change, while Max Verstappen and Felipe Nasr will start from the pit lane after their teams changed some parts after qualifying.

Red Bull changed Verstappen's survival cell after his crash yesterday, while Sauber have changed engine cooling ducts and panels inside Nasr's car after he suffered engine failure in qualifying.

The Mail on Sunday leads with the headline "Moody Lewis", writing: "At the end of the on-track drama, the expression on Daniel Ricciardo's face - always inclined to a Colgate-advert smile - was in direct contrast to Lewis Hamilton's miserable countenance. 

"The Brit, who was third quickest and a place behind his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, does not wear adversity lightly and his mood could not be hidden by the sunglasses he resolutely kept on for the cameras."

Lewis Hamilton could barely contain his disappointment about qualifying third yesterday after more technical trouble.

He's taken to his Facebook page today to write a message of positivity.

"In our quest for greatness the road is often rough," he posted, "but we must overcome our fear of the unknown and have absolute courage. Nothing in life that’s worth having comes easy."

Two drivers have really stood out so far this weekend, and they are Daniel Ricciardo and Lewis Hamilton. They had conflicting emotions after qualifying. Ricciardo was delighted - although remarkably contained publicly - after setting his first F1 pole with a stunning lap in the Red Bull. Hamilton was very down after yet another Mercedes technical problem left him compromised in qualifying and he could only manage third, his tyres past their best by the time he finally got to do his lap.

Afterwards, he was talking about technical  issues ‘becoming the norm’, and said of the race: "My state of mind is to at lest finish where I am. If I can gain another position, that would be great. I am just hoping the car stays together." 

One suspects he will be thinking rather differently now. A wet track means opportunity, and Hamilton will be out to grasp it.

It was very wet for the support races this morning, but the rain has stopped for now. Current forecasts suggest it will be a wet start, with it drying up as the race progresses.

This seems as good a time as any to ask who is your wet race hero? Who has impressed you the most in the rain and which drive in particular was most memorable?

Monaco awoke to grey skies and wet streets on Sunday morning. Rain guarantees drama in Monaco and the race has suddenly become even more enticing than it already was.

After three days of glorious sunshine, this was the sight that Monaco woke up to today.

Not everyone likes it, but there are some good things about rain - sleeping to the sound of it, Prince's song about the purple version of it and, of course, Formula 1 racing.

The tight and twisty streets of Monaco can often result in a race that is little more than a game of follow the leader, but throw in a bit of the wet stuff and suddenly it becomes a whole lot more unpredictable.

...the Monaco Grand Prix has been at its best when rain is thrown into the mixer.

Well, guess what the weather is like the principality today...
