Charles Leclerc bagged the most important pole of F1 2024 as he prepares to head the grid at his home race, the Monaco Grand Prix.

Leclerc ended the 100 per cent pole position record of Max Verstappen in F1 2024, the Ferrari driver to share the front row with McLaren’s Oscar Piastri.

Leclerc’s Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz will launch from P3, while it is McLaren’s Lando Norris in P4 after what turned into a very productive day for those teams.

Mercedes’ George Russell starts P5 alongside Verstappen, who whacked the barriers at Sainte Devote in his Red Bull on the all-important final Q3 run.

Russell’s Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton, RB’s Yuki Tsunoda, Williams’ Alex Albon and the Alpine of Pierre Gasly complete the top 10 on the grid.

Alpine’s Esteban Ocon will lead the battle to break into the points from P11 on the grid. He is joined on row six by RB’s Daniel Ricciardo.

Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso, who suffered back-to-back Q1 eliminations, line up behind them.

But if Alonso’s Q1 elimination was a shock, it was topped by Red Bull’s Sergio Perez, who faces the toughest of Sunday afternoons from P16 on the grid. He has Williams’ Logan Sargeant for company.

The Saubers of Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu were set to form the back row, though that changed when Haas duo Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen, originally 12th and 15th respectively on the grid, were excluded from the qualifying results over an “inadvertent” rear wing breach on both cars.
