The FIA will be keeping a close eye on driver ‘mistakes’ in the decisive Q3 phase of qualifying in Monaco on Saturday, according to Carlos Sainz. Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz says many of the drivers are pushing for a new rule so that drivers who crash on their second runs in Q3 may lose their initial laptime. “It is a rule that the drivers have tried to put on the table,” he said. “I will have to do a good lap on my first run, I think,” Dutchman Verstappen said in Monaco. Championship leader Verstappen also backs Sainz’s push for the FIA to consider new rules.
