Jolyon Palmer has admitted he was simply caught out by the lack of traction at the start of the Monaco Grand Prix, which saw him crash out.

The Renault driver lost his car on a zebra crossing which crosses the start/finish straight, which saw him spin-off left into the barrier before coming to a rest in the tyre wall at Ste Devote.

"The traction was appalling after the safety car and I got caught out," he declared. "I had wheelspin in fifth gear on the white line that crosses the track. There was nothing I could do – I was just a passenger and went straight away into the wall.

"It’s so difficult as we know that the white lines are slippery but they are everywhere."

Palmer has put the difficult race weekend behind him and is now focussing on the next race in Canada.

"I’m disappointed as I love this track and it’s been good for me in the past. But I’m now looking forward to Canada and putting this weekend behind me.

"Monaco hasn’t been good to me this year so we need to move on to the next race and look for a better weekend."
