Coverage of the Monaco Grand Prix qualifying is on the BBC Sport website and BBC radio
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel set an impressive pace in second practice at the Monaco Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton ended the session eighth.
Championship leader Vettel was 0.487 seconds quicker than Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, with Hamilton more than a second off the pace.
Hamilton was top in the first session but Mercedes were less competitive later, a concern for the weekend.
Jenson Button was 12th for McLaren on his one-off return to Formula 1.
The 2009 world champion, standing in for Fernando Alonso while the Spaniard races at the Indianapolis 500 this weekend, was just 0.035secs slower than and one place behind team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne.
Lance Stroll crashed during second practice - not for the first time this season
The session was stopped for about 10 minutes midway through after a heavy crash for Williams rookie Lance Stroll.
The 18-year-old Canadian lost the car on the entry to Massenet, one of the fastest and most demanding corners on the track, and smashed into the barriers, badly damaging the right-hand side of the car.
At the front of the field, another close battle looks in store between Mercedes and Ferrari, and Red Bull appear closer than they have been so far this season.
Hamilton was quickest by just under 0.2secs from Vettel in the first session but the silver cars appeared to be struggling for pace in the warmer afternoon conditions.

Mercedes then did not do the usual race-simulation runs, concentrating instead on pit-stop practice.
However, judging by the brief running the teams did do on race fuel, the Mercedes and Ferrari ran at very similar pace, with Daniel Ricciardo's Red Bull not far behind.
"We didn't have the greatest day," said Hamilton.
"Practice one was actually really good and we were quickest, but then in second practice we just struggled to extract the grip from the tyres and we were sliding around a lot.
"I'm not sure why the tyres weren't working but the difference between the two sessions was night and day. We've got some work to do ahead of Saturday that's for sure but I'm confident the team can work it out."

Lewis Hamilton 14th as Kimi Raikkonen takes Monaco GP pole

The Monaco Grand Prix is on BBC Radio 5 live and the BBC Sport website and app
Kimi Raikkonen is on pole position for the Monaco Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton took only 14th at Formula 1's biggest race.
The 37-year-old Finn is at the front of the grid for the first time in nine years - his last pole was the 2008 French Grand Prix.
Raikkonen edged out team-mate Sebastian Vettel by 0.043secs, with Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas just 0.002secs further back.
Hamilton struggled with a lack of grip and faces a difficult afternoon on Sunday limiting the damage to his title hopes.
Jenson Button qualified ninth on his return to Formula 1 as a substitute for Fernando Alonso while the Spaniard races at the Indianapolis 500 this weekend.
Button ended up a place ahead of McLaren team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne, who was quicker than Button by 0.2secs and seventh in second qualifying only to crash at the end of the session.
But Button will start at the back of the grid because of a 15-place grid penalty for using too many engine parts.
What happened to Hamilton?
Hamilton was struggling with a lack of grip, had to abort two laps for almost-crashes, and then came across another crashed car on his final lap.
The Mercedes driver had been struggling since second practice on Thursday afternoon and, despite set-up changes for Saturday morning, he was still struggling going into qualifying.
He was 10th in the first session, 0.3secs off Bottas, but the second session began unravelling from the start.
On his first lap, a flick of oversteer at the fast Massenet corner at the top of the hills looked set to trigger a heavy crash, but Hamilton just kept the car out of the barriers, taking his hand off the wheel and shaking it afterwards as a reaction to how close he had come to an accident.
He complained to engineer Peter Bonnington: "I've got no grip, Bono. I've got to come in. Something is just not right with the car."
When he went out again, things were no better. This time it was Casino that nearly caught him out, the car flicking into oversteer over the crest at the famous corner, Hamilton again just rescuing it from the barriers.
That left him with one last lap to try to get into the top 10 shoot-out, but as he was on it, Stoffel Vandoorne crashed his McLaren at the Swimming Pool, bringing out the yellow flags and meaning Hamilton could not improve.

Monaco GP: Sebastian Vettel stretches title lead with win

Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel won a slow-burning Monaco Grand Prix to extend his championship lead over Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton to 25 points.
Vettel led home team-mate Kimi Raikkonen after passing the Finn by running longer to their only pit stops.
There was suspicion that the strategy was a deliberate move by Ferrari to get their leading driver into the lead but the team denied that was the case.
Hamilton finished seventh after a difficult race from 13th on the grid.
A largely dull race was enlivened by a late safety car after a collision involving McLaren's Jenson Button, on his one-off return to F1 in place of Fernando Alonso.
It closed up the field and led to a series of crashes and collisions among the backmarkers.
Vettel was just 13 years old when Ferrari last won the Monaco GP in 2001 - Michael Schumacher triumphing for the Scuderia en route to another world title
Team orders return at Ferrari?
Raikkonen took his first pole position for nine years on Saturday after Vettel made mistakes on both his quick laps in the top-10 qualifying shootout.
The Finn converted his advantage into a lead at the first corner and the two Ferraris began to edge away from Valtteri Bottas' Mercedes and the two Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo.
The race was always going to feature only one pit stop and there was speculation before the race over whether Ferrari would find a way to engineer the strategy to allow Vettel to win.
The way things panned out, it looked as if that was what happened.
Raikkonen cut a frustrated figure during the podium celebrations
Raikkonen made his pit stop on lap 34, at a time when there was no obvious requirement to do so, and he came out behind slower cars, which he had to lap.
Vettel used the opportunity to set a series of flying laps and by the time the German pitted five laps later, he had more than enough of an advantage to rejoin with a two-second lead.
He continued to pull quickly away from Raikkonen, building a 10-second lead within eight laps and cruised to his third win of the year, despite the late safety car period.
Ferrari said Raikkonen's stop was on the pre-planned lap and that they left Vettel out to avoid the risk of him being passed by Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, who was also delaying his pit stop at the time.
Hamilton had a quiet afternoon, making six places from 13th on the grid
Hamilton's low-key comeback
Mercedes knew they would always struggle to make up too much ground with Hamilton after starting 13th because of a messy qualifying session, including a series of driving errors and problems with tyres.
They decided to run him long and hope to gain from his speed once he got some clear air, as cars pulled in to make their pit stops.
Hamilton ran until lap 46 before stopping, by which time he was sixth. He lost only one place, to Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz, and ran seventh to the end, closing on the Spaniard but unable to pass him.
"The battle's not over, boys," Hamilton said over the radio in the closing laps. "We'll take these points."

Button's not-so-low-key comeback
Button's one-off return to Formula 1 as a replacement for Alonso, who was in America to race in the Indianapolis 500, ended in a crash with Sauber's Pascal Wehrlein.
The 2009 world champion started from the pits after McLaren made a decision to change his car set-up after qualifying because he was starting from the back after engine penalties.
The team pitted him on the first lap, the idea being to get the mandatory pit stop out of the way and hope to gain places.
But Sauber played the same strategy with Wehrlein and the German rejoined right in front of Button.
Button's race ended after a collision with Wehrlein, which left the German stuck in his cockpit
Sauber were found guilty of an unsafe release because Button had to lift in the pit lane to avoid contact, but the five-second time penalty Wehrlein received - which would have been applied post-race - did not help Button, who was still stuck behind the Sauber.
Finally, on lap 60, Button saw an opportunity to pass as they were lapped by Raikkonen and dived down the inside of Wehrlein's car at the Portier corner.
Button was halfway alongside, Wehrlein turned in and the cars collided, the Sauber rising up on to its side and coming to rest on its left-hand wheel rims with Wehrlein unhurt, but stuck in the cockpit against the barrier.
Monaco: nightmare for parking, especially the yacht
Frantic final laps
The safety car dramatically enlivened the last few laps.
Red Bull switched Verstappen on to fresh ultra-soft tyres to give him a chance to pass Bottas for fourth, after losing the position with an earlier strategy play.
Ricciardo had vaulted from fifth to third as a result of Red Bull splitting their strategies, with Verstappen failing in his attempt to pass Bottas by stopping first, and the Australian succeeding in doing so by running long and pitting later.
At the restart, Ricciardo hit the wall at Sainte Devote, the first corner, under pressure from Bottas but was able to continue without losing a position.

I do not miss F1 - Rosberg
The three cars circulated together for the rest of the race, Bottas in a Red Bull sandwich, but all three were stuck and finished with Ricciardo taking the final podium place ahead of Bottas and Verstappen.
Earlier, Verstappen had not been happy about dropping behind his team-mate, using an expletive over the radio to describe the strategy plan as "a disaster".
Elsewhere, Sauber's Marcus Ericsson crashed out under the safety car, McLaren's Stoffel Vandoorne slid into the barriers when passed by Force India's Sergio Perez at the restart, and Perez collided with Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat at Rascasse, putting the Russian out of the race.
Driver of the day
Hamilton did a good job in limiting the damage to his title hopes a much as possible, while avoiding getting caught in any midfield tangles, Ricciardo executed the 'over-cut' impressively, proving he should have qualified higher. But Vettel takes it. The victory was controversial, without doubt, but his driving was impeccable, and the pace he showed in the crucial four laps before his pit stop and afterwards blistering.
What happens next
The Canadian Grand Prix on 11 June is held on one of Hamilton's favourite circuits, where he has always excelled. But Mercedes will be heading their with trepidation. It is the same sort of low-grip, low-abrasion circuit as Sochi and Monaco, where Hamilton has struggled, and the teams will also be using the ultra-soft tyre, which Mercedes are struggling to make work effectively. On the face of it, Ferrari will head their as strong favourites for another win.
Traffic jam: Monaco is the slowest race on the F1 calendar
What they said
Sebastian Vettel, P1: "Unbelievable. It was a very tense race. I knew that was the chance to win and I was able to use that window and come out ahead. After that I was able to control the gap behind."
On whether the pass on Raikkonen was pre-planned by the team: "No, not really. The plan was to try and pull away which we did. Valtteri had good pace and then the window opened, as soon as Valtteri pitted Kimi responded. I still had some pace and I was able to keep going."
Kimi Raikkonen, P2: "Nothing to say really. Obviously it's still second place but it doesn't feel awfully good. But it is how it goes sometimes: we go to the next race and try to do better. It is one of those races when you hope to get more."
