- Ferrari driver hit the wall on his final qualifying run
- Max Verstappen is second, Lewis Hamilton struggles
Charles Leclerc took pole for the Monaco Grand Prix, his home race, securing the spot for Ferrari despite crashing out on his final lap. Max Verstappen was in second for Red Bull in Monte Carlo with Valtteri Bottas in third for Mercedes. Lewis Hamilton had a tough afternoon managing only seventh. Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz was in fourth with McLaren’s Lando Norris in fifth.
The final runs were dramatic but Ferrari, who have looked strong all weekend, had an edge that Leclerc made the most of before he pushed too hard with a crash that ultimately worked in his favour.
