NEOM McLaren driver Sam Bird’s hopes for the Formula E championship took a hit as he was ruled out of the Monaco E-Prix this weekend due to a hand injury sustained in a crash during the first free practice session. The British driver collided with the wall at turn two, forcing him to withdraw from the race.

In a statement released by the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team, it was confirmed that Bird would not be able to participate further in the event and would undergo medical evaluation for his injury. As a result, reserve driver Taylor Barnard will step in to drive the #8 car for the team.
