At the Monaco Grand Prix, Barrichello qualified 9th, and Hulkenberg 11th. Barrichello moved up to sixth position through the first corner, while Hulkenberg lost control in the middle of the tunnel and hit the wall, damaging his front left suspension and causing a safety car. Later, Barrichello had a suspension failure caused by hitting a loose drain cover coming out of turn 1, and crashed heavily up the hill. After crashing he threw the car's steering wheel out, as he was sitting in the middle of a 120 mph corner with his car on fire. The steering wheel was then run over by Karun Chandhok's Hispania. This was the first double non finish for Wiliams in the season.
