F1 2025 Monaco GP LIVE: Qualifying latest updates, times and results as Hamilton eyes pole – UK Times

Can he fight for pole today? “I think so, a lot of competition today, got a good chance.

“Charles will be a challenge, Max came back to life today and Lando has been quick as well, it’ll be an exciting session.”

We’re five minutes away from the most important qualifying session of the season!

It looks very competitive this afternoon, with Leclerc, Norris, Piastri and Verstappen the frontrunners!

Lewis Hamilton has just been around his garage thanking his mechanics for fixing his car after his crash in FP3 – is the Brit in the mix?!

“Stay out of the barriers, it’s going honestly to be very difficult and tight, Charles has been really fast, he’ll be on it.

“Is it enough to fight for pole? We need a bit of a magic lap, very tough around here. Very happy with how our car performed this weekend, compared to last year.”

Top in all three practice sessions and the winner here last year, it seems all set for home hero Charles Leclerc to do the business here!

Can he secure a first pole position for Ferrari in a grand prix this season?

I spoke to George Russell in Imola about his 2025 season so far and his hopes for his future in F1, and that of the future of the sport itself:

As a result of his crash in FP3, Ferrari have changed the gearbox on Hamilton’s car ahead of this qualifying session!

A reminder that Ollie Bearman has a 10-place grid penalty for tomorrow’s race!

The 19-year-old Brit overtook Carlos Sainz under red flag conditions in second practice, with the stewards dishing out a brutal penalty!

It means that, unless Bearman finishes in the top-9 in qualifying later, he will start last tomorrow!

“I like the idea, let’s give it a chance. It depends on safety cars or red flags, if they happen. I’m surprised they haven’t said one pit-stop must be in the second half of the race.

“Will the frontrunners hang on to pit on the penultimate lap?

It does mean that you can’t get out in front, go at F2 race, and keep position.”

7. Aston Martin – 14 points

8. Racing Bulls – 10 points
