Red Bull Racing is not having the best weekend in Monaco. Sergio Perez has to start the race from P18 and Max Verstappen will start from sixth. However, the Dutchman may gain a place as Carlos Sainz has to report to the stewards.

Sainz to stewards in Monaco

Sainz must answer to the FIA stewards for possibly interfering with Alex Albon in Q1. That could land the Spaniard a three-place grid penalty, which could see Verstappen start from P5 instead of P6. The Ferrari driver has to report to the stewards at 18:15, as does Albon to tell his side of the story.

Nico Hulkenberg also has to report to the stewards. The Haas driver allegedly obstructed Esteban Ocon during qualifying at the Circuit de Monaco. Hulkenberg recorded a time good enough for 12th and could therefore potentially be dropped to P15.
