Charles Leclerc will start first in the Formula 1 Monaco GP, after being the fastest in a rough qualifying where his Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz finished second.
El Monegasque Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) will start first this Sunday in the Monaco Grand Prixthe seventh in the World Cup formula 1which takes place on the Montecarlo street circuit, where this Saturday he dominated qualifying.
Leclerc signed the fourteenth ‘pole’ since he runs in F1, the fifth of the year, by covering the 3,337 meters of the circuit of the principality of the Côte d’Azur in one minute, 11 seconds and 376 thousandths.
The local registered 225 thousandths less than his Spanish partner Carlos Sainzwho will start with him from the front row, ahead of the Mexican’s Red Bull Sergio Pérez -third- and from the Dutch Max Verstappenworld leader and last world champion, who will start fourth.
The qualifying session ended early, due to the red flag caused by ‘Checo’, who had an accident in the curve before the tunnel; and against which he collided -without major consequences- Sainz.
The collision hampered Verstappen, while the other Spaniard, the Asturian double world champion Fernando Alonso (Alpine), who will start seventh, suffered another accident with no injuries to report; in a crazy ending to the last round of the main timed.
Alonso will start from the fourth row, next to the seven-time English world champion Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) -which will start eighth-; and behind the English Lando Norris (McLaren), fifth in qualifying, and George Russell (Mercedes), which will start from the third.
From the fifth row they will do it the four times German world champion Sebastian Vettel (Aston Martin), ninth in qualifying; and the French Stephen OconAlonso’s teammate in Alpine, who will start from tenth place in the most iconic and shortest race of the year: scheduled for 78 laps, to complete a route of 260.2 kilometers.
