Leclerc, who now has three pole positions in his home streets, will be hoping to convert yesterday's pole into a long-awaited win - one that will also put him on top of the podium for the first time since Austria in 2022.

Lando Norris in the other McLaren secured fourth place, with George Russell of Mercedes rounding out the top five.

Further down the grid, championship leader Max Verstappen clipped the wall at Sainte Devote on his final qualifying lap, scuppering his attempt at a record-breaking ninth consecutive pole position. He will have to fight his way back from a disappointing sixth place, with Lewis Hamilton hot on his heels in seventh.
