Drama for Red Bull: Perez Out of Monaco GP qualifying in Q1

Qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix ended early for Sergio Perez. A tragedy for the Red Bull Racing driver, who will have to start Sunday's Formula 1 race from 18th place.

For the third F1 weekend in a row, Red Bull is having a tough time. In all free practice sessions, the RB20 proved difficult to drive, leading to disappointing results. For Perez, his weekend got worse. He will start the Grand Prix from 18th place.

Fernando Alonso also did not make it through to Q2: the Aston Martin driver, who suffered from traffic in his second run, starts 16th. The differences between them were particularly small. Perez was just five-tenths slower than George Russell, the fastest man in Q1.
