Monaco Grand Prix qualifying results: Daniel Ricciardo on pole, Max Verstappen OUT

Ricciardo has been in imperious form all weekend and saw off Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel with a record-breaking lap of the Monte Carlo street circuit

Championship leader Lewis Hamilton will line up in third after crucially splitting the Ferrari duo with Kimi Raikkonen a place behind.

It was a nightmare afternoon for Red Bull’s Max Verstappen though after he crashed out in FP3.

The Red Bull driver lit up the time sheets with a blistering lap of the Monte Carlo track, but ended the session in the barriers.

Verstappen lost control of his Red Bull at the high-speed swimming pool section and sustained serious damage to his car.

The Dutchman's mechanics faced a race against time to ensure his Red Bull was ready for qualifying.

But Verstappen's car needed a new gearbox and the mechanics were not able to do so in time, meaning he will start from the back of the grid in tomorrow’s race.

A delighted Ricciardo said: “It's good. We sent a statement on Thursday and been quickest in every session. The race tomorrow and then we will celebrate.

"There is still a lot of fire in this belly. I've done everything I can so far, let's finish the job tomorrow. I'm pumped, it's been a good few days."

Hamilton added: “Congratulations to Daniel. They've had the pace all weekend and we knew that would be the case.

"I gave it everything I could. I was up a little bit on the last lap but wasn't able to hold onto it.

"It's still a long race ahead of us tomorrow. I don't think Red Bull have tried the other tyres yet so it will be interesting to see how we all go."
