Monaco
Third in qualifying, but starting from the 8th row due to a penalty incurred in Spain the week before, Jules Bianchi was involved with a collision with Giedo Van der Garde in the first race. 25th on the grid in the sprint race, Jules was issued a drive-through penalty for a jump start and crossed the finish line in 19th place.

Jules Bianchi:
“Our losing streak continues, and we have to act quickly because the gap in the championship is widening, although the team actually has everything it needs to compete for the top spots. My qualifying lap was correct although if it weren’t for an error at Sainte-Dévote, I could have had a shot at the pole position. That said, the penalty made me lose five positions on the grid, and starting in 8th I knew that I had to have an excellent start because that is the time you can move up places in Monaco. But errors here are costly and we accumulated them in both races, trying to make up lost ground. We can’t become apathetic; we have to maintain concentration and capitalize on our strengths and take care not to make mistakes. The championship is still long and we have the potential to make a comeback.”
