Esteban Gutierrez

After qualifying eight and doing a great start and climbing up to fourth place, Esteban was hit from the back and his rear wing was damaged so he had to stop in Pits to change his rear wing and that is why he lost a lot of time.

During the afternoon session Esteban and his team did race simulations.

Because of the contact of Esteban with the wall on one of the curves, Esteban was only able to run 3 laps during qualifying.

After starting 24th on the grid Esteban climbed up 22 positions and finished 2nd in the race! Bravo Esteban!

Esteban could not continue the race because of mechanical problems with his car. His car stopped on Lap 4.

Three drivers handed grid position penalties for tomorrow’s feature race Following an eventful qualifying session today in Monaco, the stewards have handed three drivers penalties for causing a collision. Romain Grosjean rode over teammate’s Pal Varhaug at Rascasse in the closing stages of the session. The Frenchman was handed a five grid position penalty. Although he did not set a laptime inside the 107%, the Dams driver has been allowed to race tomorrow as he set a suitable time during today’s practice session. He will start from last position. Also guilty of causing a collision was Marcus Ericsson who found the rear of teammate’s Sam Bird’s car at the swimming pool. The Swede was also handed a five grid position penalty and will now start from P20. Lastly, today’s quickest man Giedo van der Garde was also handed a five grid position penalty for causing a collision early in the session with Oliver Turvey. The Barwa Addax man will start tomorrow P6. Consequently, Sam Bird was promoted to Pole position – his first of the season – while Davide Valsecchi will start from front row.
