F1 Monaco GP Live Commentary and Updates - race day

Minute-by-minute updates for F1's Monaco Grand Prix at Circuit de Monaco.

The Monaco Grand Prix gets underway at 14:00 BST (15:00 local time) with Charles Leclerc on pole for his home race on an all-Ferrari front row.

Carlos Sainz starts second, as Sergio Perez outqualified Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen despite a late crash at Portier - which collected Sainz to bring out a red flag.

McLaren's Lando Norris begins from fifth, outpacing George Russell in the Mercedes.

The race will last 78 laps, and will prove particularly tough for overtaking opportunities unless the threat of rain changes the shape of the race.
