Here's our report on an eventful Monaco GP qualifying session. We'll be back with you tomorrow for live coverage of the race, followed by the Indianapolis 500. Make sure you're comfortable! 
Raikkonen on pole, Hamilton out in Q2, both McLarens through to the final segment - and a special mention for Sainz getting into the top six. That was a very entertaining qualifying session.
Q3 order: 1 Raikkonen, 2 Vettel, 3 Bottas, 4 Verstappen, 5 Ricciardo, 6 Sainz, 7 Perez, 8 Grosjean, 9 Button, 10 Vandoorne (no time).
One minute to go: Raikkonen, Bottas, Ricciardo, Vettel, Verstappen, Grosjean, Perez, Sainz, Button, (Vandoorne).
Bottas moves into the big gap behind Raikkonen to sit on the front row as things stand. Plenty of action still to come here in the final 120 seconds of qualifying though.
Ferrari send Raikkonen and Vettel out for their final attempts. Raikkonen is sitting pretty at the moment, while Vettel has Ricciardo's Red Bull to overhaul to make it an all-Ferrari front row.
Most cars are back in the pits, so Button heads out for what is going to be his only Q3 run. Good job for British fans that Button came back - he's the only Brit taking part in this session.
1 Raikkonen, 2 Ricciardo, 3 Vettel, 4 Bottas, 5 Verstappen, 6 Perez, 7 Sainz - no times yet from Grosjean, Button, or the crashed Vandoorne.
