Red Bull’s Max Verstappen starts from pole position, having pipped Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin in a pulsating qualifying session. 

Esteban Ocon will start third for Alpine, ahead of Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz and Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes. 

All three have been promoted up one position after Charles Leclerc, who qualified third, was handed a three-place grid penalty for blocking Lando Norris in Q3. 

The Monegasque will now go from sixth, ahead of Alpine’s Pierre Gasly, Mercedes’ George Russell and AlphaTauri’s Yuki Tsunoda. 

Completing the top 10 starters is McLaren’s Norris. 

Red Bull drivers top and tail the Monaco grid, with Sergio Perez starting 20th and last following his Q1 shunt.
