Since Mercedes returned to Formula 1 in 2010, there has been only one occasion that a Mercedes driver has not reached Q3 at the Monaco Grand Prix. That didn’t change in 2024. George Russell out-qualified Lewis Hamilton for the sixth time this year, with the pair lining up fifth and seventh on the grid.

Carlos Sainz held a 100% Q3 appearance rate at the Monaco Grand Prix – and continued to do so after qualifying for the 2024 race. Sainz qualified in third place, one position down on his best ever Saturday result in the principality (2nd, in 2022).
