So what do Formula One drivers do before heading out to qualify at Monaco? In the case of Force India drivers Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg, it's a little stress-busting fun trying to balance as many cans on top of each other as high as possible - with varying degrees of success, as you can see here with Sergio's latest effort collapsing before our very eyes. Fortunately both drivers proved much better at their day job, with Hulkenberg qualifying fifth and Perez successfully clinching seventh place on the grid for tomorrow's race.

A great time was had by all thanks to Hype Energy drinks providing the raw building materials, and Monaco delivering yet another spectacular backdrop to salivate over!
