- Notes
- ‡: After impeding David Coulthard on a flying lap, Giancarlo Fisichella lost his 3 fastest laps from qualifying, dropping him behind Montoya, Barrichello, Trulli, Coulthard and Rosberg. He thus started from 9th position. [link]
- †: During the final lap of qualifying, Michael Schumacher came to a stop at the La Rascasse hairpin, resulting in a yellow flags, meaning that other drivers could not go at maximum speed. After the session there was immediate complaint from the other teams that this has been a deliberate move by Ferrari to ensure Schumacher started in pole position, since Alonso had been on pace to beat his time. Although Schumacher insisted he had simply made an error, a stewards' inquiry resulted in his qualifying times being deleted. Steward Joaquin Verdegay commented, "He performed some absolutely unnecessary and pathetic counter-steering, and that lasted five metres, until there was no more chances of going through the turn normally. He lost control of the car while travelling at 16km/h. That's something completely unjustifiable." As a result, Schumacher opted to start from the pitlane. [link]
