This time, although the car hit the cushion, it didn't damage the left rear suspension of Perez's car, but the entire carbon fiber wing on the rear was shattered.

And Sainz, who was running the final flying lap just behind Perez, saw Perez stopped on the track but it was too late to brake. Perez crashed in a blind spot, so after the turn, despite Sainz's efforts to save himself, it was too late. A brake drift resulted in the left rear wheel crashing directly into Perez's right front wheel, breaking Perez's right front suspension.

The two cars blocked the entrance to the tunnel completely, one in front of the other.

Verstappen, behind them, had no choice but to stop helplessly at the entrance of Turn 8.

With the track blocked, a red flag was inevitable.

This sudden accident caught everyone off guard, followed by a burst of cheers from the Mercedes team's pit room, which had been watching the broadcast anxiously.

Even the usual naysayers among the crowd fell silent.

Because there was only half a minute left on the clock for Q3.

A red flag at this time meant the end of the qualifying session.

No one could come out in half a minute to complete a warm-up lap and start their flying lap.

And at this moment, it wasn't just this accident on the track. On the other side at the entrance of Turn 5, Alonso missed the braking point and crashed head-on into the protective wall with locked brakes.

The left front suspension of Alonso's car was also broken in this crash.

Thus, apart from Norris, who was the first to come out in Q3, the rankings of other drivers on the Q3 leaderboard were decided by their first flying lap results in Q3.

Finally, Q3 ended with this dramatic scene.

In the end, Qin Miao took the pole position with a time of 1:11.267.

The final Q3 standings and tomorrow's starting positions for the top ten are as follows:

1: Qin Miao

2: Leclerc

3: Sainz

4: Perez

5: Verstappen

6: Norris

7: Hamilton

8: Alonso

9: Vettel

10: O'Kang

The Mercedes team, who were already getting ready to pack up, had to re-fit a used set of soft tires on Qin Miao's car, and then push Qin Miao's car from the Mercedes pit garage to the post-race interview area.

Fortunately, the FIA interview area was right next to the Mercedes team pit garage, so pushing the car over wasn't a big deal.

Moreover, since Sainz, in third place, was stuck at Turn 8 and his car was damaged.

So only Qin Miao and Leclerc were able to attend the post-race interviews.

Although Leclerc only finished second in this qualifying session, this is Leclerc's home, so the cheers from the crowd never stopped as he headed to the interview area.

Even Qin Miao received quite a few cheers here.

On one hand, fans worldwide know that Qin Miao lives in Monaco, and Qin Miao's good relationship with Leclerc is also well-known.

So the local Monaco people see Qin Miao with a bit of a hometown filter.

Many local spectators attending the race have seen Qin Miao on the streets of Monaco, hence they are familiar with him.

Waving to the crowd, Qin Miao approached the interview spot with a strong sense of surrealism.

Hamilton also just parked his car, preparing to go for weighing.

At the same time, Qin Miao happened to see Hamilton during the interview.

As if by instinct, Hamilton glanced at Qin Miao.

The two shared a brief eye contact before being swallowed by the surging crowd.

After the Monaco Grand Prix qualifying session, the spectators in the VIP stands of each team were allowed to walk onto the track.

So at this moment, the track was particularly crowded.

Retracting his gaze, Leclerc just happened to walk up to Qin Miao.
