Antonelli Secures Pole for Mercedes at Monaco Grand Prix

“The pole position in Monaco is an incredible result. The team did a great job to get the car into this good starting position, especially given the improvements we made overnight after a difficult Friday. It was an extremely tight fight with so many other cars and drivers, all seeming capable of taking pole. I'm absolutely thrilled to have taken pole and I'm already looking forward to tomorrow.”

“That was an exciting qualifying in which Kimi secured pole with a fantastic lap. There were many competitors, including the Ferraris and Red Bulls, but Kimi stepped up at the decisive moment and delivered with full commitment. It's been seven years since we last stood on pole here, and historically we've never been particularly strong in Monaco. That makes today's result even more special.”
