Ricciardo ‘frustrated’ and ‘confused’ after Q2 exit

McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo has admitted his frustration and confusion over missing out on Q3 for the Monaco Grand Prix.

The Australian, who had crashed in FP2, was unable to get through to Q3 at the most important qualifying session of the season and was some 0.7s adrift of his team-mate Lando Norris.

Ricciardo has failed to reach the top 10 shootout four times this season and has only managed to outqualify his younger team-mate once, which was last time out at the Spanish Grand Prix.

The 32-year-old had looked to be shaping up for a good lap by setting a personal best on his final run in Q2. However, when asked if he thought the lap was enough to get into the top 10 shootout, the Australian admitted he was not confident on the run.
