Nico Hulkenberg was summoned to the stewards over an incident with Esteban Ocon in Monaco qualifying.
Nico Hulkenberg will not face any additional penalties from the Monaco Grand Prix stewards for blocking Esteban Ocon during qualifying, but there is still a possibility of disqualification. The incident occurred in Q2 when Hulkenberg blocked Ocon through Massanet and Casino Square, causing the Alpine driver to back off on a fast lap. Despite Haas attempting to warn Hulkenberg about Ocon, the stewards determined that the radio was not working properly, and Hulkenberg did not receive the messages. Ocon confirmed the radio issues, acknowledging that Hulkenberg couldn’t have known he was approaching due to the blind entry to Massanet. Ocon stated that he didn’t feel significantly impacted as Hulkenberg picked up speed through Casino Square. Due to Haas’s efforts to warn Hulkenberg, the radio problems, and Ocon’s belief that the situation didn’t affect him much, no further action was taken. Nonetheless, Hulkenberg’s qualifying position of 12th is in jeopardy because Haas is under investigation for a technical rules breach on both cars, potentially resulting in Kevin Magnussen’s disqualification as well.
