6 NICO ROSBERG
Mercedes F1 W07
Start: 2nd
Finish: 7th
Strategy: 2 stops (wet/intermediate/ultra-soft)
Rating: 4
The recent King of Monaco was finally dethroned this year. He refused to blame Mercedes' fuel pressure problems for his failure to take pole, but pole wouldn't have helped with his disastrous race pace. The suspicion is unusually cold brakes and tyres caused that.
Rosberg knew he couldn't win so helped Hamilton to instead, then slipped further back as the race wore on. A bad day at the office.
44 LEWIS HAMILTON
Mercedes F1 W07
Start: 3rd
Finish: 1st
Strategy: 1 stop (wet/ultra-soft)
Rating: 9
Hamilton looked utterly dejected after more technical trouble stymied his efforts to bag the crucial top spot in qualifying. Third was a decent effort in the circumstances.
He knew the wet weather was his best chance to steal victory. He had some help from his team-mate - and Red Bull! But he drove superbly to keep his wet tyres alive long enough to pull off a one-stop strategy.
5 SEBASTIAN VETTEL
Ferrari SF16-H
Start: 4th
Finish: 4th
Strategy: 2 stops (wet/intermediate/soft)
Rating: 6
Vettel looked a potential pole contender after topping practice three, Q1 and being on Ricciardo's pace in Q2, but lost his way with tyre temperatures as the track improved in Q3 so wound up only fourth.
He should have finished on the podium with Rosberg struggling, but got stuck behind Massa's Williams after early stop for intermediates, then jumped by Perez after a later stop for slicks.
7 KIMI RAIKKONEN
Ferrari SF16-H
Start: 11th *grid penalty
Finish: Retired
Strategy: (wet/retired)
Rating: 3
A terrible grand prix for Raikkonen. He never looked as comfortable as team-mate Vettel after Ferrari corrected the set-up mistakes of Thursday practice, but shouldn't have qualified behind Hulkenberg's Force India in any case.
His race lasted only 10 laps before he locked the rear wheels downshifting for Loews, hit the wall and broke his front wing, which got stuck under the car.
19 FELIPE MASSA
Williams-Mercedes FW38
Start: 14th
Finish: 10th
Strategy: 2 stops (wet/intermediate/super-soft)
Rating: 7
Massa reckoned only Red Bull has improved more than Williams at this track compared to last season. He trailed team-mate Bottas with an excess of oversteer in qualifying, which he said cost him crucial traction in the final sector.
The Brazilian drove a solid race to bag the final point, helped by the Raikkonen/Grosjean tangle before Portier and a crucial pass on the struggling Gutierrez midway through.
77 VALTTERI BOTTAS
Williams-Mercedes FW38
Start: 10th
Finish: 12th
Strategy: 3 stops (wet/intermediate/super-soft/ultra-soft)
Rating: 6
Bottas felt there was more to be had in qualifying, so failing to make Q3 represented underperformance, even with a tricky oversteer balance in the car.
The race was a bit messy. He ran ninth early on, but got stuck behind Wehrlein's Manor after a problem at his first stop. He charged after Gutierrez at the end, but got penalised for a last-lap lunge at Rascasse.
3 DANIEL RICCIARDO
Red Bull-Renault RB12
Start: 1st
Finish: 2nd
Strategy: 2 stops (wet/intermediate/super-soft)
Rating: 10
Ricciardo harnessed the strength of the Red Bull chassis and improved power and driveability of the new Renault engine to bag his maiden pole in F1 with a fantastic display of controlled aggression on Saturday.
He did everything right on Sunday too, but was undone by Red Bull's pitstop blunder. He's feeling the pain now, but should be proud of the way he drove.
33 MAX VERSTAPPEN

Strategy: (wet/intermediate/soft)
Rating: 5
F1's youngest race winner came back down to Earth with several hard bumps against Monaco's unforgiving guardrails. He loses several marks for crashing at the Swimming Pool on his first Q1 run, when more margin is naturally available to faster cars.
He made a superb recovery to ninth in the race in a replacement car, showing speed and overtaking prowess, but then crashed again...
11 SERGIO PEREZ
Force India-Mercedes VJM09
Start: 7th
Finish: 3rd
Strategy: 2 stops (wet/intermediate/soft)
Rating: 8
Perez wasn't happy on Thursday and his struggles continued into qualifying, where he got within two tenths of Hulkenberg but was braking earlier than in final practice and still locking up.
Key to a surprise podium result was a late stop for intermediates, plus pitstop misfortunate for Sainz and Vettel's struggles in traffic, which helped hand Force India crucial track position. Perez made the most of it.
27 NICO HULKENBERG
Force India-Mercedes VJM09
Start: 5th
Finish: 6th
Strategy: 2 stops (wet/intermediate/soft)
Rating: 8
This weekend was much better after a tough recent run and Hulkenberg superbly outpaced Raikkonen's Ferrari in qualifying. The top six position he earned is beyond what the car merits.
Poor strategy and a tardy second stop undid Hulkenberg's race. He matched Vettel on intermediates but kept getting stuck behind slower cars. Though he won a drag race to the line with Rosberg for sixth, he knows a podium chance went begging.
20 KEVIN MAGNUSSEN
Renault RS16
Start: 16th
Finish: Retired
Strategy: (wet/intermediate/intermediate/super-soft/ultra-soft/retired)
Rating: 5
Armed with the other updated Renault engine, Magnussen should have been in for a strong weekend. As it was he struggled, crashing in practice two and only just edging out Ericsson's undeveloped Sauber to squeak into Q2.
He got involved in an unnecessary scrap with the lapped Kvyat in the race, was smashed off at Rascasse, then later shunted again thanks to resultant car damage.
30 JOLYON PALMER
Renault RS16
Start: 18th
Finish: Retired
Strategy: (wet/retired)
Rating: 3
Palmer crashed twice in practice and struggled with the Renault's "snappy" balance. He was just over three tenths off Magnussen in qualifying, two of which he put on his lesser-spec engine and the rest because his lap "could have been cleaner".
A further crash on the pit straight after safety car start ended his race early. He lost the rear over a zebra crossing.
26 DANIIL KVYAT
Toro Rosso-Ferrari STR11
Start: 8th
Finish: Retired
Strategy: (wet/intermediate/retired)
Rating: 4
Kvyat was the faster Toro Rosso driver in qualifying until a "big underperformance" in Q3. He was furious to find his car stuck at constant speed for the start of the race and lost his cool again when Magnussen got his elbows out, getting a Canada grid penalty for taking the Renault out at Rascasse.
Kvyat has had it tough recently, but he needs to stay calm in the car.
55 CARLOS SAINZ JR
Toro Rosso-Ferrari STR11
Start: 6th
Finish: 8th
Strategy: 2 stops (wet/intermediate/super-soft)
Rating: 8
Sainz would ordinarily have been delighted to come so close to outqualifying a Ferrari, but was a little frustrated to get upstaged by Hulkenberg's Force India, feeling he could definitely have extracted the few necessary hundredths from the car.
He drove well in the race, but was undone by two slow pitstops, which turned a possible podium into a disappointing eighth place.
9 MARCUS ERICSSON
Sauber-Ferrari C35
Start: 17th
Finish: Retired
Strategy: (wet/intermediate/ultra-soft/ultra-soft/retired)
Rating: 4
Ericsson was rightly happy with his driving and car balance in qualifying, where he split the Renaults and came within 0.046s of beating both.
He was the faster of the two Sauber drivers immediately before his collision with Nasr. His attempt to pass looked clumsy rather than malicious, but taking team orders into his own hands means Ericsson has a costly grid penalty for Canada.
12 FELIPE NASR
Sauber-Ferrari C35
Start: Pits
Finish: Retired
Strategy: (wet/intermediate/ultra-soft/retired)
Rating: 4
Nasr looked to be the faster Sauber driver after practice, but only made it as far as the tunnel in qualifying before his engine went bang. He refused team orders to let Ericsson past in the race, which ultimately triggered the implosion at Rascasse.
He suggested Ericsson has refused similar orders in the past, but following Rosberg's example probably would have been wiser on this occasion.
14 FERNANDO ALONSO
McLaren-Honda MP4-31

Finish: 5th
Strategy: 2 stops (wet/intermediate/super-soft)
Rating: 9
Alonso seemed the more comfortable of McLaren's two drivers with the chronic understeer that plagued the MP4-31 throughout the Monaco weekend, and hustled it to his second top-10 qualifying slot in succession.
He was fast on intermediate tyres and produced a quick in-lap to jump Rosberg at the second round of stops. After that, he managed his tyres and Rosberg's subsequent pressure expertly until the flag.
22 JENSON BUTTON
McLaren-Honda MP4-31
Start: 13th
Finish: 9th
Strategy: 2 stops (wet/intermediate/super-soft)
Rating: 7
Button was only fractionally slower than Alonso in Q1, but couldn't "get the tyre back" after locking up at Massenet in Q2 - where he ended up 0.245s behind his team-mate.
An early stop for inters compromised Button's chances of a better result in the race. He got stuck behind Wehrlein, then overtaken by Verstappen, and was generally always playing catch-up rather than dictating terms.
88 RIO HARYANTO
Manor-Mercedes MRT-05
Start: 19th
Finish: 15th
Strategy: 3 stops (wet/intermediate/ultra-soft/ultra-soft)
Rating: 3
Haryanto maintained focus amid uncertainty over his future and outqualified his team-mate by 0.157s. That was a good start.
The wet part of his race was respectable, but he fell away badly after switching to slicks. He lost tyre temperature moving aside for blue flags and was horrendously slow. Pitting again improved his pace, but the damage was done and he eventually finished four laps down.

Rating: 7
Wehrlein drove a feisty race on his first visit to Monaco, executing a Hamilton-esque stint on wets to mix it with faster cars.
After pitting for slicks, Wehrlein remained ahead of Grosjean's delayed Haas. Held it at bay for 47 laps to the flag, but two penalties (for speeding under the virtual safety car and ignoring blue flags) did Grosjean's job for him.

Rating: 5
Grosjean was a superb eighth in Q1 but blamed traffic for his session unravelling thereafter. He reckoned points were possible without Raikkonen's broken Ferrari delaying him massively during an early battle with Massa. He lost a chunk more time to a slow first stop for intermediates.
From the very back of the field, Grosjean was able to overtake one of the Manors but not the other.

Gutierrez sat out a chunk of first practice with an electrical problem, but come qualifying he found a decent groove and did well to outpace both Button's McLaren and Massa's Williams.
His race was less impressive. He looked decent in the wet and overtook Raikkonen, but struggled for pace on slicks and lost his hold on the final point to Massa's Williams.
