It's been a long time since Ferrari won in Monaco - 16 years to be precise - but they are in the prime position to end their wait tomorrow.
For Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes, there's plenty of thinking to do overnight but you can't completely rule the Briton out of a place on the podium, even if he is starting from 13th.
One thing is for sure, we're in for a thrilling race. We're back with build up from 11:30 BST and we'll also be doing live text coverage of Fernando Alonso in the Indy 500 later in the afternoon. A mega day of motorsport.
Until then, goodbye.

Lewis Hamilton, who will start tomorrow's race 13th on the grid, tells Channel 4: "The opportunity was not there for me. I just struggled with the car. I don't really know what to say at the moment. I'm deflated but will keep pushing tomorrow.
