  1. Two minutes to go.

    Heading out are: Hulkenberg, Sainz, Sirotkin, Leclerc, Grosjean

  2. Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez are now sixth and seventh, hoping they have done enough.

  3. Lewis Hamilton gets it all together and he is now third, Valtteri Bottas seconds later crosses the line to go fifth.

    That should be the top five through. Everyone else may be feeling uncomfortable.

  4. Four minutes to go - 11th Hamilton, 12th Sirotkin, 13th Leclerc, 14th Bottas, 15th Grosjean.

    What a day this could be for Ferrari.

  5. At the moment both Force Indias and both McLarens are heading into the final 10, as are both Renaults.

  6. Sergio Perez fourth, fifth, Stoffel Vandoorne sixth. McLaren fans, who have not always enjoyed qualifying this season, will be celebrating.

  7. The Mercedes duo, on the ultrasofts, head back into the garage but the experiment has not worked as both men are in the bottom five. They will come out and have another go soon.

    "This tyre's terrible," Hamilton says.

  8. The bottom five are Sainz, Sirotkin, Leclerc, Bottas and Grosjean. Eight and a half minutes left to get themselves into Q3.

  9. Get Involved #bbcf1

    Amit Mandalia: Based on those first runs I think the Mercedes will need to go to the hypersofts otherwise risk running out of time.

  10. Both Mercedes drivers have work to do, but still 10 minutes to go so no need to panic.

  11. Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel are first and second, with Kimi Raikkonen third. They should all be into the top 10.

    Ricciardo's time is 1:11.353, beating his own track record.

  12. Still hope for a points finish for Verstappen?

    Andrew Benson
    BBC Sport’s chief F1 writer in Monaco

    Re: Verstappen, perhaps worth a reminder that Fernando Alonso finished sixth in Monaco in 2010 after crashing in final practice and missing qualifying.

  13. Fifteen remain, top 10 go into Q3.

  14. Great stuff from McLaren as both men are into Q2, which has just started.

    Daniel Ricciardo's clean sweep continues. Fastest in all three sessions and quickest in Q1.

  15. It's tight... very tight

    Jolyon Palmer
    Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 live

    The whole field in that first session were separated by 1.3 seconds. Take out Ricciardo and it's less than a second from second place to 19th. That's as close as we'll see in modern Formula 1.

  16. Get Involved #bbcf1

    Nicholas Reynolds‏: So no punishment for Bottas for clearly impeding Kimi. Clear double Standards.

    Daniel Eckersley‏: Fifth and seventh for the two McLarens in Q1. Quietly, a very good job.

    • Brendon Hartley (Toro Rosso)
    • Marcus Ericsson (Sauber)
    • Lance Stroll (Williams)
    • Kevin Magnussen (Haas)
    • Max Verstappen (Red Bull)

    "The Force India just tried to put me in the wall," screams Hartley as his last lap fell apart. Five teams have one driver less.
