In a dramatic turn of events at the Monaco Grand Prix Formula 1 Q2 session, two Mercedes drivers and Carlos Sainz were left out of the Q3. The session was interrupted by George Russell stopping on the track, causing a frenzy among the drivers.
The unfortunate drivers who failed to make it to the Q3 session were Carlos Sainz from Williams FW47, Yuki Tsunoda from Red Bull RB21, Nico Hülkenberg from Kick Sauber C45, and the two Mercedes drivers, George Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who spun out at the end of Q1.
With only 10 minutes left in the Q2 session, George Russell came to a halt in the tunnel, leading to a temporary stoppage of the session. Despite efforts from the team, Russell was unable to get his car back up and running, adding to Mercedes’ qualifying woes after Antonelli’s earlier mishap.
Replays revealed that Russell experienced a loss of power on the uphill after the start-finish straight, managing to continue for a while before the car abruptly stopped, evident from the sudden drop in rotations per minute.
The Monaco Grand Prix continues to deliver unexpected twists and turns, leaving fans and experts alike on the edge of their seats as the race day approaches.
