Monaco Grand Prix - Race

Live Text

Well, as Hamilton starts spraying people with champagne, Perez goes to hug everyone from his team and Ricciardo... quietly hands off his helmet and stands alone, we will wrap up our live coverage.

Stick with us for reaction from this race, as well as the 100th running of Indy 500.

See ya.
The very familiar combo of UK anthem - German anthem is ringing out now.
The Aussie is forcing a smile on the podium now, but that won't be fooling anybody.

Sergio Perez is jubilant, having banked his third podium with Force India to add to his three Sauber podiums.

Ricciardo, on the other hand, is the gloomiest he's ever looked.

Justin Bieber congratulates Hamilton at the end of the race, I believe, on "crushing that".
"Save it. Nothing you can say can make it better."

That's Ricciardo's reaction to today's second place. Win four was his for the taking.
So that's seventh for Rosberg, eighth for Sainz, ninth for Button and P10 for Felipe Massa.
Ricciardo second, Perez picks up Force India's first podium of the year in third.
His second Monaco win - again from third on the grid, again with the help of rain.
Lewis Hamilton wins the 2016 Monaco Grand Prix.
Ricciardo now five seconds behind Hamilton, he'll just try to bring the car home. Hamilton still looks like he's pushing.
3.3s between Hamilton and Ricciardo - the Red Bull was quicker that time around. Three laps to go.
The TV director is subtly hinting that the race is over by showing Nico Rosberg.
Rosberg has given up trying to pass Alonso, while Vettel is within a second of Perez.
Four laps to go. Ricciardo again slower that time around.
Five laps to go, Hamilton's geriatric ultrasofts are just about quickest of all right now.
You can see the raindrops now, but they're unlikely to make much of an impact.
That might be it - the Red Bull is now losing time in all three sectors.
Lap 72/78:

1. Lewis Hamilton 
2. Daniel Ricciardo 2.225
3. Sergio Perez 11.541
4. Sebastian Vettel 12.524
5. Fernando Alonso 66.824
6. Nico Rosberg 68.783
7. Nico Hulkenberg 69.599
8. Carlos Sainz 70.851
9. Jenson Button 74.731
10. Felipe Massa 1L
11. Esteban Gutierrez 1L
12. Valtteri Bottas 1L
13. Pascal Wehrlein 2L
14. Romain Grosjean 2L
15. Rio Haryanto 3L
Fastest lap by Hamilton: 1:17.9 on ultrasofts with 40 laps on them.
Hamilton called the ultrasofts "supersofts painted purple" earlier this weekend. Bet you anything he's pretty thankful for that now.
Hamilton looks to have gained around a second on that VSC restart.
Replays show a.... trashbag landing on approach to Ste Devote? Okay.
