Charles Leclerc Takes "Special" Pole In Home Monaco Grand Prix After Sergio Perez Crashes
Charles Leclerc secured pole position for his home Monaco Grand Prix with a sigh of relief and a smile on Saturday after a crash-hit finale to a dramatic qualifying session. The 24-year-old Monegasque driver topped the times ahead of team-mate Carlos Sainz in a commanding Ferrari front row lock-out to claim his fifth pole of the season and the 14th of his career. Sainz's hopes of snatching the prime grid position from Leclerc were dashed on his final lap when he collided with Sergio Perez's Red Bull, seconds after the Mexican had slammed his Red Bull into the barriers at Portier.
