Sainz: F1 cars too wide for Monaco Grand Prix qualifying

Carlos Sainz believes that the new generation of F1 cars are "too wide" for Monaco qualifying. Drivers are often found queueing at the end of the lap around Rascasse which can lead to drivers being impeded and struggling for space.

Sainz described qualifying round the streets of Monte Carlo as a "circus" and that the traffic jams caused by drivers trying to find space was difficult to plan around.

“It was a circus,” he said. “Maybe (they’re) too wide these cars, too many cars on this Tarmac for 20 at the same time trying to put a lap together.

Sainz was able to outqualify his compatriot Fernando Alonso and will start the grand prix from eight position.
