Lewis Hamilton appeared exasperated after the Monaco Grand Prix was red flagged as he indicated the team made a mistake putting him on the hard tyres to start the race.
The Monaco Grand Prix is a tricky race to overtake on with many trying to make their move on the first lap.
But there was several bumps between cars before Kevin Magnussen and Sergio Perez touched wheels with Nico Hulkenberg also being picked up in the wreckage.
The race was immediately red flagged with cars limping back to the pits.

That gave a chance for teams to change tyres with some suggestions that the hard tyre would be possible to potentially make it to the end of the race.
Hamilton and George Russell didn't have that opportunity though as they started the race on the hard compound, meaning they had to change to mediums at some point.
The seven-time world champion appeared to suggest that he would have preferred to have started on the medium compound in case of a crash on the opening lap.
"I told you guys," Hamilton said.

Mercedes ended up putting both their drivers on the medium tyre at the restart while both the Ferraris and McLarens were able to switch to the hards.
That meant all the top four drivers could potentially run until the end of the race, although with the need to manage their tyres.
Racing stewards felt there was no further investigation necessary for the first-lap incident involving Perez, Magnussen and Hulkenberg.

Magnussen felt Perez should have given him more room before being pushed to the wall.
"From my point of view, I had a good part of my front on Perez's rear and when he went to the wall I got pushed to the wall and made contact with him," he said.
"I trusted he was going to leave space for me since I was there.
