Sam Bird, NEOM McLaren Formula E Team
The Briton suffered the injury to his right wrist approaching the final 10 minutes of FP1 on Saturday morning, locking up into the opening turn, Sainte Devote.
Bird took the escape road at high speed, with the right front wheel of his McLaren hitting the barrier and with his hands still on the wheel.
Despite getting out of the car unaided and walking back to the pits, further assessment has revealed an injury.
A statement from the McLaren team read: “Due to a hand injury sustained during Free Practice 1, Sam Bird will not participate in the remaining sessions at the Monaco E-Prix.
“As a result, and pending approval from the FIA, Taylor Barnard will be stepping in for the remainder of the event.”
