Can Norris make it out of Q1?
Mercedes are cooking in Monaco with Russell and Hamilton setting the pace.
Norris is currently in the drop-zone for McLaren though.
The benchmark is lowered again to a 1m11.492s in the hands of Russell.
He sets a 1m11.653s to go 0.2s ahead of Magnussen in the Haas. Hulkenberg completes the top three.
Impressive lap from Hamilton to move into second ahead of Russell. Sainz goes fourth.
Tsunoda, Ricciardo, Sargeant, Bottas and Zhou.
A strong lap of a 1m11.811s puts him on top ahead of Verstappen. Leclerc only tenth after his first runs in the Ferrari.
A 1m12.267s for Russell puts himself less than a tenth clear of Sainz. The track is ramping up.
Something we don't get to say often as Hulkenberg storms to the top. Magnussen a tenth off.
Hamilton sets a 1m12.954s to go a tenth clear of Tsunoda. Sargeant rounds out the top three.
There's going to be traffic, that's for sure!
The first part of qualifying kicks off...
Our top three prediction? Leclerc, Verstappen and Piastri.
- Leclerc was once again the driver to beat in FP3, just under 0.2s ahead of Verstappen
- Hamilton was up there yet again, setting the third-quickest time in the Mercedes
- Bottas is on the back foot after clattering the wall in the final sector
