It's raceday ... Charles Leclerc starts on pole position, looking for second grand prix victory so soon after his first. You know what they say about Monegasque buses.
Behind, the Mercedes are ready to bounce - rain overnight may help their cause on a cold, green track. In the second Ferrari, Vettel will be aiming to reverse the wrongs of his season so far, never mind yesterday's Q3 antics, and is clearly more comfortable than he was one week ago.
Renault finally came good and need to score heavy points to regain some momentum in the battle for P4 in the Constructors'. Albon, the sole Red Bull in Q3, faces another battling drive after a difficult qualifying.
Further back, Giovinazzi and Kvyat are well-poised with free tyre choice and quick racecars. The latter with one eye on another strong result.
Verstappen starts from the very back along with Norris, Gasly and Perez. Pit lane for Kimi.
And no, it isn't going to rain.
