The tight, twisting nature of the Monaco Grand Prix circuit perhaps makes qualifying more important in the Principality than anywhere else on the F1 calendar. Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and the rest of the grid will give it their best shot on Saturday ahead of the main event later this weekend.
