MONACO GP - QUALIFYING - RE-CAP & RESULTS

    Daniel Ricciardo took Pole Position after previously topping all three Free Practice sessions. Team-mate, Verstappen, was left unable to participate after his heavy crash in P3. His car required multiple fixes and a gearbox change. It was not ready in time for Q1.

HOW IT WORKS:

Q1 = 18 minutes. All cars allowed to go out. At the end of the session, the five slowest are eliminated.
Q2 = 15 minutes. The remaining cars go out. At the end of the session, the five slowest are eliminated.
Q3 = 12 minutes. Final 10 cars go out. The final order at the end of the session is how the grid will line up. Fastest car starts from Pole Position.
