Lewis Hamilton's fastest lap from Q3 has been deleted, meaning he will will start the Monaco Grand Prix from ninth on the grid.
The stewards deleted the time after they found he had skipped the second part of the Swimming Pool chicane towards the end of the lap.
Hamilton set his only time in Q3 after Sergio Perez's big accident and waited for a long time at the end of the pit lane to ensure he got out first for a clear run. However, his tyres and brakes were not up to temperature and he struggled for grip throughout the lap.
"After the restart in Q3, I had no temperature in my tyres or my brakes, so I didn't manage to pull a great lap together," he said afterwards. "With hindsight, we probably should have put a banker in."
