Max Verstappen is flying, though, on his latest run in Q3. He's purple in the opening sector, as Oscar Piastri goes fifth on the timesheets.
Leclerc onto provisional polepublished at 16:06 BST
Charles Leclerc is flinging his Ferrari around Monte Carlo. The crowd are waiting to see where he ends up on the grid. Can he get provisional pole? Yes! It's a 1:12.351 for the home hero.

Postpublished at 16:04 BST
The front row of the grid as it stands is Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen, with Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris sharing the second row just behind.
George Russell is down in fifth place, as Charles Leclerc's Q3 is becoming a struggle. The Ferrari driver really is going to need a great lap to get a decent grid spot for tomorrow.

All of them looking on the raggedy edge and completely committed. I'm wondering if they are going to do more laps or they are just going to come in now after one run. This is now really starting to show up the guys with real potential.

Postpublished at 16:02 BST
Charles Leclerc had a moment close to the barriers at Massenet and had to abort his lap, so the Monegasque man has gone out early from P10 - the only car on track at the moment - to get a better time on the board.
Antonelli man to beatpublished at 16:01 BST
Lewis Hamilton goes quickest in his Ferrari but here comes the Mercedes of title leader Kimi Antonelli. The Italian flies on to provisional pole with a time of 1:12.375, which is just 0.001 seconds better off than the Red Bull of Max Verstappen, who goes second after his first run.

I sometimes think this is like a ritual, the last 10 minutes or so of qualifying in Monaco is what everything is about. This is not just for pole position, this is for a victory. This is for the Grand Prix, this is for everything and they have to drive out of their skin to perfection or they will get beaten.
Norris goes quickestpublished at 15:59 BST
Charles Leclerc slips down to the third, as the McLaren boys improve their times, with Lando Norris is top with a 1:12.765.

Lando Norris, polesitter here last year, beats Oscar Piastri time but has to slot into second on the timesheets, as Charles Leclerc places his Ferrari to the top with a 1:16.662.

Soft tyres are bolted on across the field for this pole position scrap. McLaren's Oscar Piastri is the first man to complete a lap of Monaco in Q3 and the Australian's time is a 1:19.182.

We have been watching George Russell struggle and he is a long way off the pace, eight tenths off Max Verstappen, the quickest time in Q2, half a second off Kimi Antonelli.
I've just asked Mercedes what is going on, is he struggling as much as he appears to be and they are saying he has reported a lack of grip and therefore does not have the confidence to push as much as he needs to.

Once you get into Q3, it is down to the individual. The make up of the individual, whether or not they can knit it all together, whether they can hold it together and concentrate.

It is quite good that Lewis came in and made a little adjustment with the new tyres, so he is now really getting his eye in for what the car will be like on new tyres going into Q3. He is almost certainly going to get through to Q3 without too much of a problem but he wants to see what he can do now.

Postpublished at 15:47 BST
Liam Lawson improves to go ninth, pushing Pierre Gasly down to 10th spot.
Kimi Antonelli is improving once again but Mercedes team-mate George Russell is struggling and stays on the board.
Max Verstappen fancies top spot in Q2 and goes two tenths quicker than Antonelli.
