Hulkenberg and Magnussen advanced out of Q1, ensuring a double Q2 appearance for the American team, with Hulkenberg placing 12th and Magnussen three positions behind. Following the session, it was revealed that the FIA’s technical delegate raised concerns to the stewards about Haas failing the DRS opening check due to the wing elements exceeding the maximum allowed 85mm on both cars. After a review by the stewards, Haas was found guilty of breaching DRS compliance, nullifying their Saturday qualifying efforts. The team attributed the error to a misalignment in setting the wing flap gap, causing the non-compliance with the regulations. As a result, Haas faces a challenging task to achieve results in the Monaco GP from the back of the grid, as overtaking is extremely difficult on the tight Monaco streets. This disqualification elevates Daniel Ricciardo to 12th place, alongside Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso, while Logan Sargeant’s Williams and Sergio Perez’s Red Bull gain slight advantages, and the Sauber duo move up from the back row of the grid.
