Former F1 Mo𒀰naco Grand Prix winner Daniel Ricciardo endured another miserable qualifying session as he was ♔out-classed by McLaren teammate Lando Norris yet again.

Ricciardo could only manage 14th for Sunday’s race while Norris impressed by securing fifth🌱 💝on the grid.

With McLaren CEO Zak Brown casting doubt over Ricciardo’s future with the team be🅰yond this season, another underwhelming qualifying performance won’t help hﷺis chances of extending his stay with the Woking outfit.

Up at the front, Charles Leclerc was once again in a league of his own as he secured pole position ahead of Ferrar𝓡i teammate Carlos Sainz, who c𓃲rashed at the end of Q3 at the same corner as Sergio Perez.

Here’s who had a difficult day in Monaco…

Daniel Ricciardo - Qualified 14th 

“I run these streets” - it wasn’t that long ago Ricciardo was the master of Monaco with poles in♎ 2016 and 2018. 

Ricciar💧do finally got his first win in the principality during his final year with Red Bull despite nursing a power unit issue throughout the race in 2018.

He should have won the 2016 Monaco GP had it not been for a pit stop blunder from Red Bull that cost him the victory to Le🍸wis Hamilton.

Fast forward to 2021﷽, Ricciardo was lapped by his teammate in Monaco, who ultimately finished on the poꦿdium.

Ricciar🐲do looked on the pace during the early runs in Friday practice but his good work was undone when he crashed at the Swimming Pool chicane, forcing him to miss the entirety of FP2. 

With his confidence low, it’s probably not a surprise to see Ricciardo 🎃nearly 0.7s off Norris in qualifying. 

Ricciardo will be hoping for a chaotic race🥂 to avoid being lapped by his teammate for the 𓂃second year running.

Max Verstappen - Qualified 4th

It’s very rare that Verstappe⛎n is slower than his teaﷺmmate across a grand prix weekend.

Thr𒁏oughout Friday practice, the Dutchman trailed Sergio Perez with the reigning champion struggling for pace throughout the opening sector of the lap.

Things didn’t really change in quali⛄fying with Perez looking lik﷽e Red Bull’s best hope of a first pole position in Monaco since 2018.

With main title rival Leclerc perfo𝔍rming at his best on home soil, Verstappen had no chance of pole position.

Maybe without the red flag at the enꦉd of Q3, Verstappen co💟uld have salvaged second but that could have been the same with Perez or Sainz. 

A disappointing weekend for Verstappen so far.

Pierre Gasly - Qualified 17th

Gasly’s perfor💃maওnces in 2022 show how quickly things can change in F1.

The Frenchman’s average qualifying record is just 12.1 this year as🧜 opposed to 6.7 in 2021.

Granted, AlphaTauri aren’t as competitive as last year but he currently trails less-experienced teammate Yuki Tsunoda in the drivers’ cha𒅌mpionship.

Gasly showed impressive pace throughout Friday practice but couldn’t get thওe lap together when it mattered.

However, he was one of the drivers - like Hamilton and both Alfa Romeos - to miss out on a final lap in Q1 after not making the chequered flag following the red 🌱fཧlag stoppage, ironically caused by Tsunoda.

A wet race could present a chance of recovery for Gasly but he needs to turn his season around if he wan♑ts any chance of 🌊securing a better drive outside of the Red Bull family in the near future.

The drivers that impressed us in Monaco F1 qualifying…

Lando Norris - Qualified 5th

As teammate Ricciardo continueꦦs to struggle, Norris continues to flourish with McܫLaren.

There’s no doubt n🐼ow that Norris is part of that top bracket of drivers alongside Verstappen, Hamilton and Leclerc, particularly over one lap. 

After ba🌱ttling through ill health in Barcelona to finis꧃h in the points, Norris still hasn’t fully recovered from tonsillitis, making his performance in Monaco even more impressive. 

In the end, Norris was just over 0.4s off pole position at the same venue whereꦐ he finished on the podium last year.

Should Perez get a penalty for a gౠearbox change or Sainz is pe💯nalised for his driving under the yellow flags, the young Brit might be able to match last year’s achievement on Sunday.

Sebastian Vettel - Qualified 9th

The four-time world champion shone yet again aroun༺d the streets of Monte Carlo as he maintained his remarkable streak of qualifying inside the top 10 in Monaco, stretching back𝓡 to his days with Red Bull in 2009 - which was his second full season in F1. 

Many have questioned Vettel’s motivation and ability with the German failing to dominate Aston Martin teammate Lance Stroll during his first year with🌞 the team.

After missing the first race of the year through COVID and Aston Martin’s subsequent lack of competitiveness, more rumours began t🅷o swirl about 🥂Vettel’s future in the sport.

However, the last few ra🔜ces have shown that Vettel still has what it takes to competeꦗ in F1, even at one of the most difficult circuits on the calendar.

As Vettel progressed into Q3, Stroll fell at the first hurdle, securing 18th for Sunꦕday’s race.
