Monaco Grand Prix

CHARLES LECLERC has earned himself pole position ahead of TOMORROW'S race in what turned out to be a chaotic qualifying.The Ferrari star took advantag.

"But Real normally tends to win the finals because it's Real, and they have a lot of experience. But that’s Monaco — you do one lap in Q3 and there’s always a risk of a red flag when everyone is trying to risk it all.” He was improving his time when the session was stopped. “A little bit of chaos would be nice but if it’s not then you try to score the most possible points in my position… "If we lose out on a P5 or a P6, it’s not ideal, but it’s not the end of the world. "I was tempted. Let's hope tomorrow to do a better job.” It would be nice to have some luck for once.” “It was getting a bit better. "I am surprised that this is even a question really. We have to go for it. So I don’t see any problems there at all."

Red Bull are on the charge with 3 wins in a row as defending champion Max Verstappen looks to keep rolling in Monaco.

Leclerc will at least come to Monaco with a brand new engine after technical failures at Catalunya caused him to retire while leading the race. Despite all the history and fame of the Monte Carlo circuit, if the race is a snoozefest like last year, the FIA may force layout changes. You can see a comparison of Kayo vs Foxtel here. Last year's Grand Prix resulted in just a single overtake outside of the opening lap and overtakes from pit strategy.

"I think I need to do a little rain dance, shake it up a bit for the race because in the dry, you cannot pass around here," he said on Saturday. The Australian said he is hoping for poor weather during the race, to help him around a track where overtaking is notoriously difficult. Australian Daniel Ricciardo has it all to do in his McLaren, starting the famous race in 14th after a poor qualifying.

Pirelli expects that a mix of soft and medium starting Formula 1 tyres will be seen on the grid at today's Monaco Grand Prix.

Clearly you have a difference, but the difference shouldn't be too big especially because as I said here, the delta lap time is quite close. "So basically, they used the soft to protect the position. And also because the delta lap time was bigger, but the difference in level of degradation was not so big.

But rain isn’t out of the question, and there will (hopefully) be some other elements of intrigue to spice up what Ferrari are hoping will be a procession. “It’s good, it’s good to get it wrong sometimes,” Wolff adds of the team’s current struggles. “You cannot overtake so I am hoping that the weather plays up and maybe we can do a different strategy. Is today the day that the Monegasque Leclerc gets a victory on home roads? “Monaco is always different, you need to concentrate. The track isn’t even that wet.” Brundle: “Why the safety car? Meanwhile, there is rain falling on the circuit! It’s coming down quite significantly according to the presenters.

The pressure on the pit crew in Monaco is immense. Ferrari thought they had solved the problem, but on the way to the grid Leclerc broke down. Monaco is still high for Formula 1, but way down in comparison at 45%. Since 2015, pole position has won twice at Monaco. Prior to that, there was a six-race run of the pole-sitter also taking the victory on Sunday. In 2021, Leclerc secured pole position but crashed on the way back to the garage. Should it remain dry, Ferrari has the best cards to bring in a 1-2. At 14:00 UK time the drivers will start the Monaco Grand Prix. With Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz starting from the first row of the grid, Ferrari have the chance to take a lot of points from Red Bull Racing. Follow the race below via GPblog's liveblog!

We’ll probably have to check the toes and see. Most of the talk around the paddock is about the weather. The Monaco Grand Prix is known for it’s opulence and it’s celebrity guests and today’s race day is no different. The rain has slowed down but the decision to go with slicks or intermediate is a big one. The current world champion and title race leader Max Verstappen could only manage fourth after struggling to get the most out of his car on the famous street circuit. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc secured pole position with an incredible lap in Saturday’s Formula 1 qualifying session and will be looking to complete a sensational home victory at the Monaco Grand Prix this afternoon.

This portion of the race was a procession, compared to what went before. The Red Bulls, wary of being stranded on the wrong tyres, stopped a lap later. But the rain intensified and a red flag was shown before the race had even started.

After two days of steady sunshine, heavy rains arrived in Monaco around 20 minutes before the scheduled start. He won the pole and Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. is set to start alongside him on the grid. But drivers climbed from their cars when he rain began to fall harder and it became clear Sunday’s start would be delayed.

Those excursions promoted Nicholas Latifi – who almost crashed at Sainte Devote on Lap 10 and behind the Lap 2 Safety Car – to 15th for Williams. Sainz emerged third, Leclerc fourth – the Monegasque seething as he was held up in the pits and lost further time with a tough out-lap, a call to stay out on track having come fractions too late for the home hero. Sainz was millimetres off Perez through Portier, the tunnel and Nouvelle Chicane with the time ticking down, the Spaniard having a proper look at Lap 57 – but nothing doing. Perez was the next taker, Lap 17 seeing him go for the green-walled tyres and emerge fourth behind Norris, to release Verstappen in chase of Sainz, who elected not to react. The conditions were drying and giving Leclerc and his hunters a choice to make. Over an hour after it was originally scheduled, the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix began in earnest, with Leclerc squirrelling away from pole, team mate Sainz, Perez and Verstappen in chase. The lengthy delay was stopped at 1605 for a race start behind the Safety Car. He walked away, the gearbox and rear suspension having detached from his Haas. Resumption came with a rolling start on Lap 33, Ferrari on hards while Red Bull opted for mediums. The Safety Car pulled in for Lap 3 of 77 and Leclerc led away with Sainz, Perez and Verstappen in tow. The FIA stated the formation laps and start would be delayed, with the field set to begin on wet tyres. Red Bull followed one lap later and pulled off an overcut with their own double-stack – the order was now Perez, Sainz, Verstappen and a furious Leclerc in P4. The Mexican almost lost out in the dying moments of the race, Sainz almost sticking his nose in front at the hairpin, but victory would be his – a huge statement after a disappointing Spanish Grand Prix.

Mick Schumacher walked away unharmed from a big crash at the Monaco Grand Prix which prompted the second red flag of the event.

Just six minutes later, the race was suspended with a red flag to allow marshals to fix the barrier Schumacher had gone into. Curiously, the race stewards cycled through all three of the options available to them in the case of a crash as marshals looked to clear the wreckage. The actual safety car was then deployed two minutes later, which requires the field to bottle up behind a pace car.

Daniel Ricciardo has finished 13th in the Monaco Grand Prix, paying the price for a poor qualifying session the day before.

After the race, Verstappen and Pérez were summoned to see the FIA stewards after Ferrari filed protests for both Red Bull drivers crossing the pit exit line.

We’re not getting the results we hoped for, but we’re both going to continue to push. I still believe I can be at the front, and belong at the front. Hamilton came in at lap 16; Pérez followed suit a lap later, and Ferrari made the call to bring in Leclerc at lap 19. And I think all you can do is keep working hard as a team, keep communications going, keep pushing and hope that whatever is not kind of clicking at the moment clicks shortly.” What was odd, though, was how race stewards went through all three options available in the event of a wreck, opting for a virtual safety car first before an actual one was sent out. Five laps after Magnussen retired, Schumacher lost control of his car in the Swimming Pool section, colliding with the barrier at the exit of the chicane. The American-owned team had a strong start to the season, surpassing the points totals of its last two seasons combined. The team had a locked-out front row after Leclerc took pole on Saturday and with Sainz in second, and they looked like the favorite to win. Both drivers were out of the race early on but for different reasons. Sainz remained out with Ferrari hoping to keep the Spaniard on the track long enough for slicks. And these points have been sizable for him—Russell sits fourth in the driver standings, just one point ahead of Sainz. Behind him, Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz stayed hot on Pérez’s tail but finished in second, and Verstappen rounded out the podium in third after a chaotic, rain-delayed race.

"It's a dream come true," Pérez said. Ferrari had tried to change its mind and told LeClerc to stay out instead, but it was too late with the driver already in the pit lane. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc had started on pole but finished his home race down in fourth after his team's pit stop strategy allowed Red Bull to overtake the Monegasque driver.

“Accordingly the driver did not breach the relevant section of the Code and this takes precedent over any interpretation of the notes. During the hearing for the Perez protest, the stewards said that “Ferrari conceded that Car 11 did not have any part of its front or rear tyres on the left of the yellow line” and “conceded that the Protest was unfounded”, resulting in the same dismissal. "In this case, the car did not “cross” the line – to do so it would have needed to have a full wheel to the left of the yellow line,” the stewards said.

"I think both Red Bulls were on the yellow line at the exit and in the past that has always been penalised with a five-second penalty." I really hope that common sense will prevail." "I think it was not close. The protest is therefore dismissed." "In this case, the car did not 'cross' the line," they said. If it was any more than even a reprimand, I'd be hugely disappointed in that.

But it transpired afterwards that the bulk of the hour delay was due to a power failure brought on by the downpour which affected the race start system. And when the race did finally get rolling it was behind the safety car rather than with a standing start. It’s the first time since Daniel Ricciardo left at the end of 2018 that the team has a dependable driver in the second garage, and his services so far this year are already proving invaluable in pursuit of the constructors title. “In terms of pace, we were definitely there and it’s just a matter of keeping it on track. The time delate between him and Max has been a lot, lot closer this year. We need to see how we move forward from here.” “Obviously hard [tyres are] never easy on the out-lap, but I had to do 12 corners, something like that, behind a lapped car,” Sainz said. “We have lost constructors points today, and that’s more important to us. “He’s doing a great job. “Clearly we need to review — we’ll do it.” Ferrari principal Mattia Binotto told Sky Sports. “These are mistakes that may happen. Ferrari’s post-mortem will need to be thorough and exacting. There was nothing more Leclerc could have done to secure victory for himself.

"That is what I was saying. Race Control indicated the formation lap would start behind the Safety Car at 3.09pm and then 3.16pm local time behind the Safety Car. The Safety Car led them away, but conditions worsened and the race was then red flagged after two formation laps. "You think they didn't do a good job?

Lewis Hamilton said: 'Weather is not a good enough reason to not race,' while Toto Wolff said the rain led to TV broadcasting problems.

“The rain at the beginning was torrential,” he said. The sudden surge in rain had caused the power problem. The race was ultimately delayed by 70 minutes after a heavy downpour but the seven-time champion believed it could have started as scheduled, believing the sport’s drivers are more than capable of dealing with difficult conditions.

For Daniel, starting in P14, we were hoping for opportunities to come our way, but nothing did, and we could only make up one position to finish P13. Such is the nature of racing in Monaco. It’s been a very long, very hot two weeks on the road for this double-header. In the rapidly changing conditions, we had a 50:50 call that just didn’t work-out for us, and he lost a position – but he didn't put a foot wrong today in challenging conditions. “We’re leaving Monaco with P6 and the fastest lap for Lando. Nine points is more than our competitors for P4 in the Constructors’ Championship managed, which makes this a very positive outcome. I think when we saw the rain come that was quite a surprise - just how quickly and heavy it came. I look forward to the next race in Baku.”
