Charles Leclerc claimed a sensational pole position at the Monaco Grand Prix as the qualifying session came to an abrupt end following a crash involving Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz.
Leclerc sealed his spot at the front of the grid with a sensational lap-time and it gives him a timely boost in his quest for a first ever World Driver's Championship. However, Q3 was brought to an end with 30 seconds remaining after Perez slid across the track and whacked the barrier, with Ferrari's Sainz following up to clip the stricken Red Bull.
Despite the collision, Sainz will start second on the grid meaning it's a Ferrari lockout at the front of the grid for tomorrow's race. Perez's earlier lap time was good enough for third on the grid while current championship leader Max Verstappen could only qualify in fourth place in his Red Bull.
