Formula One's Nico Rosberg on pole for Monaco Grand Prix

Nico Rosberg took pole from Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton for Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix after a controversial final qualifying session on Saturday.

Hamilton was on target to top the time sheets with his final qualifying lap but his effort was negated as the yellow flag was out when he passed Rosberg's car which had spun off.

That left Rosberg in pole with his previous fastest lap of 1min 15.989sec.

Behind the Mercedes-occupied front row came the Red Bulls of Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel.
