Several of the German’s car parts were strewn across the track. Schumacher lost control and drove straight into the fence at the pool section. – Schumacher is okay, was the message from the Haas camp after the incident. It did not take long before you could see Schumacher on his feet, but the German’s crash means that both drivers from Haas are out after Danish Kevin Magnussen had already broken.

Several drivers chose to start with rain tires on a track that was characterized by a lot of water. “It’s almost like driving a rotten egg on the accelerator,” said Viaplay expert Henning Isdal. And the race had barely lasted for five minutes before Nicholas Latifi crashed into the crash barrier. It was also a bit dramatic when Lewis Hamilton and Esteban Ocon knocked on each other in their 18th round, but both got on without big scratches. Massive rain and red flag Large amounts of water as a result of rain meant that the formation round was postponed by 16 minutes. When the drivers then started the rounds, there were clearly large amounts of water in the track in Monaco. – I think I have never been so wet in a Formula 1 car ever, Mick Schumacher said over the radio.

It was then waved a red flag, and the formation rounds were interrupted. The race was not started again until 16:05, over one hour after the original start. Star collision in qualifying During Saturday’s qualifying in Monaco, Sergio Pérez slid sideways into the crash barrier, which led to Carlos Sainz and the Mexican colliding. It also led to Max Verstappen having to stop. Monegasque Charles Leclerc had the best time, but Perez started a raw round before it went wrong. Formula 1 qualifying ended with a red flag, with Leclerc in pole position, ahead of Sainz, Perez and Verstappen. Several celebrities have taken the trip to Monte Carlo on Sunday. Among them are Princess Charlene of Monaco, actress Patrick Dempsey, Zinédine Zidane and Fifa president Gianni Infantino.
