Daniil Kvyat will start the Monaco Grand Prix from eighth posit✱ion on the grid after no punishment was handed down for failing a technical scrutineering.

The Russian, competing in his second event back with the Toro Rosso team after being demoted by Red Bull, reach༺ed 🥀Q3 en route to the ninth fastest time, though this becomes eighth place by virtue of an impending grid penalty for Kimi Raikkonen ahead.

However, Kvyat faced a penalty of his own after a 'front floor' defect was fo♌und, the FIA technical delegate reporting a 'vertical deflecti♎on under a vertical load of 4000 Newton exceeded 5mm'.

Referred to the stewards for 🥀further consideration, it was eventually determined that damage to the floor during Q2 contributed to the failure and was not down toಞ it being 'illegal'

As a result, K༺vyat will start eighth, though the man himself was frustrated that the aforementioned floor damage arguably cost him a better grid spot.

"I think I hit the kerb really hard at Turn 14 - the Swimming Pool - and I think something broke. The last three corners I was just a passenger, I just couldn't turn, so I♕ lost a lot of lap time there and unfortunately it ended up being a s**t lap."

In a strong session for Toro Rosso, Carlos Sainz will start from🌄 sixth position, the Italian team well placed to conso♒lidate its current fifth place in the standings.
