background

The event took place in the framework of the Monaco Grand Prix .

André Negrão returned after a break from running after being replaced by Tom Dillmann due to back pain .

Qualifying

The qualifying was divided into two sections with two groups in order to avoid obstructions on the narrow course in Monte Carlo. In the first section, group A, the drivers with an odd start number, and then Group B, the drivers with an even start number. The ratings of the two sections were not combined, instead the placements within the group decided on the starting positions. The group with the fastest driver got the odd, the other group the even starting positions.

In Group A, Palmer set the fastest lap ahead of Mitch Evans and Johnny Cecotto Jr. In Group B, Rio Haryanto set the fastest time ahead of Stéphane Richelmi and Stoffel Vandoorne . Since Palmer drove faster than Haryanto, he secured pole position.

Following qualifying, penalties were imposed on four drivers: Daniel Abt , Haryanto, Facu Regalia and Nasr had stopped competitors in qualifying and were all penalized by three positions.

After the race was stopped and several safety car phases were necessary, Palmer finally won ahead of Evans and Nasr. In addition, Palmer drove the fastest lap. The pole position for the sprint race went to Richelmi.
