Christian Horner has hailed Daniel Ricciardos dynamite lap in Monaco after the Australian secured his maiden F1 pole. Ricciardo has been quick all weekend in an RB12 sporting an upgraded Renault engine but brought it all together in qualifying, with his first Q3 time of 1:13.622 two tenths faster than closest rival Nico Rosbergs best effort.Whens the Monaco GP on Sky? It is Red Bulls first pole position since the 2013 Brazilian Grand Prix and the team principal was quick to lavish praise on Ricciardo following his stunning display around the Monte Carlo streets.Its an amazing performance, Horner told Sky F1. A 1:13.6s is mighty. That first lap he did in Q3 was just dynamite. It was sensational - to be in the 1:13s around here... wow. Hes been driving beautifully all weekend, you only need to look at the last sector to see how clean hes been driving the car. Monaco GP qualifying 1. Daniel Ricciardo 1:13.622 2. Nico Rosberg 1:13.791 3. Lewis Hamilton 1:13.942 Ricciardo will start Sundays Monaco GP on the supersoft tyre, rather than the ultrasoft, after setting his fastest lap in Q2 on the red-strapped compound. As both he and his team admitted, it gives them more options in the race.I was surprised that nobody else opted for it, added Horner. Ricciardo is extremely happy after earning his first pole in Formula 1 at the Monaco Grand Prix Following a frustrating 2015, Ricciardo has been in inspired form this season but has been hampered by either misfortune when suffering first-lap contact or team strategy when, at the Spanish GP, he was pitted from the lead.The 26-year-old had to watch new team-mate Max Verstappen win on that occasion, but will now be hoping the forecast rain for Sunday holds off to give him the optimum chance of his first victory of the campaign.Qualifying report: Ricciardo on pole, Lewis thirdI knew coming into the weekend that we had a shot at it, Ricciardo, who yelled my time over team radio after taking pole, said. It looked good from Thursday and I sort of had it in my mind, also after Barcelona, that in the last few races Ive been driving well but havent got maximum rewards.WATCH: Verstappen crashes out in Q1I came into the weekend with a lot of confidence and belief that I could be in this position.
