Pole For Lewis Hamilton; Force India's Sergio Perez To Start 7th

Monaco F1 Grand Prix 2015 Qualifying: Reigning Formula 1 Champion Lewis Hamilton took pole position at the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix. This was his first ever pole at this circuit clocking 1:15.098. His last win in Monaco came way back in 2008 when he was a part of Team McLaren. Hamilton was marginally 0.342 seconds faster than Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg who joins him in the 1st row of the grid. Ferrari's Sebatian Vettel will start 3rd in the race. Good news for Red Bull as Ricciardo and Kvyat will start 4th and 5th respectively followed by Raikkonen on 6th. Force India finally had a good qualifying this year with Sergio Perez starting the grid on 7th place. Team mate Nico Hulkenburg will be hunting for points as he begins his race from 11th position. Lotus driver Romain Grosjean was penalized five places for a gearbox replacement and will be starting 15th.



Lewis Hamilton leads the table with 111 points with Team Mate Nico Rosberg 91 and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel 80. In the constructors standing, Mercedes leads the pack with 202 points followed with Ferrari (132) and William (81). Red Bull is at a distance 4th with only 30 points. Force India is placed 8th with 11 points. If both the Force India drivers dominate in this race , the team has got a great chance to jump to 6th position.
