Daniil ꧅Kvyat will start the Monaco Grand Prix from eighth position on the grid after no punishment was handed down for failinওg a technical scrutineering.

The Russian, competing in his second event back with the Toro Rosso team after being demoted by Red Bull, re🐽ached Q3 en route to the ninth fastest time, though this becomes eighth place by virtue of an impending grid penalty forꦇ Kimi Raikkonen ahead.

However, Kvyat faced a penalty of his own after a 'front floor' defe🌳ct was found, the FIA technical delegate reporting a 'vertical deflection under a vertical load of 4000 Newton exceeded 5mm'.

Referred to the steward♔s for further consideration, it was eventually determined that damage to the floor during Q2 contributed to the failure and was not down to it bein💯g 'illegal'

As a result, Kvyat will start eighth, though the man himself was frustrated that the aforementioned floor damage arguabl꧃y cost him a better grid spot.

"I think I hit the kerb really hard at Turn 14 - the Swimming Pool - and I think something brok🅷e. The last three corners I was just a🙈 passenger, I just couldn't turn, so I lost a lot of lap time there and unfortunately it ended up being a s**t lap."

In a strong session for Toro Rosso, Carlos Sainz will start from sixth position, the Italian team well placed to consolidate itsꦓ current f♔ifth place in the standings.
