F1 Qualifying Results: Monaco Grand Prix 2023 times as Verstappen grabs sensational pole
Max Verstappen took a stunning pole position after narrowly pipping Fernando Alonso on the front row for the Monaco Grand Prix by less than a tenth of a second.
In a session that went back and forth as the track conditions improved the Dutchman left it until the final moments to pip the Aston Martin star to what would have been an incredible pole position.
However his Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez had a contrasting afternoon, not being able to threaten after crashing out of Q1.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc rounded up the the top three but following an investigation was deducted three places for holding up Lando Norris in the tunnel during the shootout and will now start sixth, boosting Ocon, Sainz and Hamilton up the order.

How does F1 Qualifying work?
The 60-minute qualifying session is split into three finite windows which provides a dramatic prelude to Sunday's big race.
The bottom five drivers are eliminated at the end of Q1, with a further five eliminated after Q2.
Then Q3 gives us a shootout between the remaining 10 drivers in the battle for positions at the front of the grid.
