"Arguably the best section of one of the world's great race tracks has been altered this season, with amendments to the Tabac-Swimming Pool section. Tabac has been slowed by bringing the outside guardrail in by 1.5m, while the daunting fast left-right of Swimming Pool One has been made faster. McLaren's Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso said the challenge of the track remained, but not everyone is so sanguine.
"Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo said: 'Tabac is still tricky. It's a bit tighter so it's a little bit slower, maybe 10km/h, but it still requires a little bit of testicles. Swimming Pool, unfortunately, we were just full (throttle) now in qualifying. You still had to close your breath a bit but it's a bit too straight. You straight-line the second apex a bit too much. I think the second kerb should be a bit more to the left so we have to weave our way around it. We don't really exit close to the wall on the exit of the Swimming Pool. You have to sort of drive the car out there rather than the kerb washing it out there. That's made it a little bit easier, which is something I don't like.'"
No-one inside the top 10 has made a trip to the pits with 21 laps gone. There's not much between the top three at all, Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel all lapping within 0.15s of each other.

Max Verstappen's crashed at Turn 1! He is into the barriers and fortunately reports over team radio he is OK.

BBC F1 co-commentator
"Everyone keeps talking about Verstappen only being 17. In terms of experience he's like a dog. People talk about dog years, he's been in a car since he was four-years old so in racing terms he's about 32."
Replays show Max Verstappen hit the rear of Romain Grosjean at Ste Devote and went straight into the barriers. His Toro Rosso has taken a fair old whack but, fortunately, Verstappen is able to climb out, a little shaken perhaps but looks fine.
"That was all in. You can see Verstappen is moving in the cock-pit. We need to see the replay and just understand was there a late change of direction by Grosjean. Looking at it, Grosjean does not appear to deviate. An error of judgement from Verstappen."
Lotus team radio Grosjean: "That was stupid [by Verstappen]."
The turning point
This is the moment the outcome of this race changed dramatically...
Max Verstappen sees tyre, he collides with a wall and the consequent introduction of a safety car while Lewis Hamilton was in the pit lane has left the Briton with the seemingly impossible task of moving up from third in the closing laps. What drama.
