Daniel Ricciardo was out-qualified once again by his VCARB teammate Yuki Tsunoda in Monaco. Tsunoda qualified in 8th place and has been impressive all year for the VCARB team, scoring 15 points this season compared to Ricciardo's five. The Australian originally qualified in 13th place, but will now start the race from 12th after Nico Hulkenberg's Haas was disqualified from qualifying due to a technical infringement. Ricciardo told GPblog and others in the paddock after qualifying that he was 'zapped' by his teammate's speed.
