The Monaco Grand Prix's qualifying session will be one to forget for Mercedes. For the second time, their car caused a red flag in Monte-Carlo.
George Russell's Mercedes car stopped in the Tunnel in Monaco.
The team reported that the British driver lost power after hitting a bump in Turn 1, and was unable to restart his car. The Germans also said it seems to be a potential electrical problem that prevented their driver from continuing.
As a result, the red flag was waved for the second time because of a Mercedes driver, as in Q1, Kimi Antonelli already crashed in Turn 10 and ended the session in the wall.
As a result, the two Mercedes drivers will be starting from P14 and P15 on the starting grid, unless other penalties are handed out.
