Will Charles Leclerc’s curse end? The Monegasque has never seen the checkered flag at home, whether in F1 or in the lower categories. The Ferrari driver, who must recover after his abandonment in Barcelona, will start from pole position on Sunday May 29 in the streets that saw him grow up. A clear advantage when you know the difficulty of overtaking on this urban circuit.
Last year, he also took pole but was unable to start the race after a problem with his gearbox due to an accident at the end of the qualifying session. This year, it was Sergio Perez who prematurely ended the hunt for the best time by hitting the barriers. The Mexican will start in third position, just ahead of teammate and overall leader Max Verstappen. The two French Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly will start from 10th and 17th place respectively.
