The Ferrari driver headed Q3 before the late red flag for Sergio Perez’s crash at Portier which led to Carlos Sainz running into the stricken Red Bull driver having been the first car on the scene before the red flag was shown. 

With the majority of the Q3 contenders unable to complete their final qualifying laps, Leclerc secured pole in similar circumstances to 12 months ago at the principality, when his own crashed ended qualifying prematurely.

Despite clashing with Perez, Sainz still completed a Ferrari 1-2 ahead of the Mexican driver who out-qualified Red Bull team-mate and F1 world championship leader Max Verstappen.

Lando Norris claimed best of the rest honour for McLaren with fifth place in front of the Mercedes of George Russell, who made a late improvement before the red flag, while Fernando Alonso took seventh place before also crashing his Alpine at Mirabeau.

Lewis Hamilton was shuffled back to eighth place for Mercedes, as Sebastian Vettel took ninth for Aston Martin and Esteban Ocon rounded out the top 10 for Alpine.
