This is why Romain Grosjean got all sweary.
What's happening at Ferrari? #bbcf1
Jonathan Deighton: It has been abundantly clear for some time now that Ferrari employ the worst strategists in #F1, external. They are terrible, all the money but no idea. They need to poach from Redbull or Mercedes!
Dr Toerag: I was wondering what new way Ferrari would mess up this weekend. But they've surpassed my wildest imagination! Poor Charles
Inge: This is bewildering. Why keep one of your drivers from qualifying in a decent position? The constructors championship is still on, isn't it?

It is embarrassing for Ferrari. Absolutely embarrassing. Leclerc might as well not turn up tomorrow. He has not come to Monaco to finish ninth in a Ferrari. He is here to win.
This is another mistake by Ferrari that has completely ruined their weekend.
Charles Leclerc, who starts 16th tomorrow, has been speaking to reporters about his early exit from qualifying.
"I don't have any explanation," he says. "Very difficult one to take. We had plenty of time to go out again. I need some explanations.
"Hopefully there will be rain tomorrow and that will be a lottery. If it is dry it will be boring. I will have to take a lot of risks tomorrow because this is a track that is basically impossible to overtake on.
"It is disappointing. It has been a difficult day and hopefully tomorrow will be better."
Into the top 10...
Two Red Bulls, two Mercedes, one Ferrari, one Haas, two Toro Rossos, one Renault, one McLaren.

Big lap from Kevin Magnusssen. He is my man of qualifying at the moment. He has got a lot of pace out of the Haas car and he is a full seven tenths quicker than Romain Grosjean.
Grosjean's team radio went something like this.... beeep, beeeeeeeeep, beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp!
Don't think he was too happy.
Hulkenberg out.
Grosjean out.
Giovinazzi out.
Raikkonen out.
Norris out.
Gasly lifts up to sixth.
Max Verstappen is keeping this interesting. He sends in a 1:10.618, 0.083 faster than Bottas.
No drama for Ferrari this time. Sebastian Vettel sorts himself out, up to fourth and into the shootout for pole. Pierre Gasly is the biggest name in danger.
Daniel Ricciardo, last year's winner, is fifth at the moment.
Leclerc out in Q1 reaction #bbcf1
DJ Home: Ferrari are a joke at this point. Not sending out Leclerc was pure arrogance and it's cost them. Are they trying to hand Mercedes the championship?!
DebbieE: Somebody offer Leclerc a way out and show him some respect. Ferrari now had strike 1,2 and 3
Peter: It seems to me that anyone in any kind of position of authority in the Ferrari pit are terrified of making any kind of a decision - yes, no, yes, maybe.... you can just imagine it.
