Nico Hulkenberg admits to Audi's struggles in Monaco qualifying

Nico Hulkenberg is heading into the Monaco Grand Prix from a frustrating P13 on the grid. After showing genuine pace throughout practice sessions, the Audi pilot was knocked out during Q2 in a turn of events that has clearly left the team struggling for answers.

It is a difficult pill to swallow for the squad. Hulkenberg was blunt about the outcome, describing the result as “certainly disappointing” and admitting that the team is left “scratching our heads” after the car failed to deliver when it mattered most.
