Charles Leclerc will start his home race from pole position ahead of Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz, with Red Bull duo Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen sharing the second row of the grid.
Perez lost the rear of his RB13 on the entry to Portier, with Sainz unable to avoid the Mexican and damaging his Ferrari in the process. The incident brought an early end to qualify and ensured Leclerc remained on pole, although the Monegasque driver would have liked topped qualifying anyway as he was on an even quicker lap on his final attempt.
