Monte Carlo (Monaco), May 23 (IANS): Force India Formula 1 drivers Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg will start Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix at the Circuit de Monaco-Monte Carlo here in the seventh and the 13th places.
The duo were totally off the pace in Saturday's qualifying round as Perez finished ahead of Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz, while Hulkenberg finished ahead of Williams' Felipe Massa.
It will be a tough race for both Perez and Hulkenberg as they lacked straight line speed.
On the other hand, Mercedes' driver Lewis Hamilton defeated Nico Rosberg to take the pole position for the first time in the Monaco Grand Prix.
The world champion beat Mercedes teammate Rosberg by 0.342 seconds, with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel third, ahead of Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo.
