Szafnauer rues Monaco Grand Prix qualifying

Otmar Szafnauer has admitted his team Racing Point, raced well during the Monaco Grand Prix but admitted the points were out of reach following their disappointing qualifying session, which saw both drivers exit in Q1.

Sergio Perez and Lance Stroll went on to finish P13 and P16 respectively after a difficult qualifying session which hampered their race potential. Perez was eventually promoted to 12th after Kevin Magnussen was handed a penalty but it didn't change much.

After Perez qualified in 17th and Stroll in 18th they faced a difficult challenge to make an impact on the race with track position so important in Monaco and Szafnauer rued Saturday's qualifying performance.

“We raced well today considering our grid positions and got both cars home safely, but points were out of reach,” said Szafnauer.
