F1: Rosberg on Pole as Mercedes Locks Front Grid at Monaco
Highlights
Nico Rosberg, yet again showed that he was the master of Monaco and snatched pole position for tomorrow's race. Rosberg set a time of 1:15.989 which remained unbeaten by any of the other drivers. Hamilton, who topped the time charts in FP1 and FP3 could only manage 1:16.048 which will see him start from second position.
Hamilton could not complete his final flying lap as the yellow flags were called into play because Rosberg went off the track. Hamilton clearly was not happy with this but had to settle in for 2nd place.
Daniel Ricciardo is back in the top three while Vettel, who seemingly is facing KERS issues, will start from P4. Ferrari did not look too good yet again as they failed to generate pace but Alonso made it to P5 while team-mate Raikkonen will start from P6 while Jean-Eric Vergne, Kevin Magnussen, Daniil Kvyat and Sergio Perez complete the top 10.
It will be much debated whether it was Rosberg's strategy to get to pole position at a track where statistics are clearly in favour of the drivers on pole position.
Hamilton will be looking to seek revenge from his team-mate tomorrow but with both the Red Bull drivers breathing down their neck, will they work as a team? We'll know tomorrow as we catch all the action for race day.
