MONACO — Charles Leclerc took pole position for Ferrari at the Monaco Grand Prix and ended Max Verstappen's bid for a record-extending ninth straight pole on Saturday.
“Really, really happy about the lap,” Leclerc said. “I know more often than not that qualifying is not everything in the race.” He is well set to end his run of nearly two years without a win, dating to July 2022 at the Austrian GP.McLaren is in good form, with Norris winning the Miami GP three weeks ago and almost catching Verstappen at the end of last weekend's Emilia Romagna GP.
“I’ve been pushing the limits everywhere and the qualifying laps felt good,” Hamilton said. “The car is feeling much better than it has in Monaco in previous years.” Alonso failed to make it into Q2 and so did Red Bull's Sergio Perez, who muttered an expletive on race radio. He is out of contract at the end of the season and Red Bull has yet to confirm he will get a seat for 2025.“I got traffic on my lap, enough to lose a couple of tenths. That will have changed the lap dramatically," Perez said. “Unfortunately, we just didn’t put it together, and this is the result of it. Unfortunately we are out.
The two Dutchmen used binoculars to view the scenery; such as the armada of giant yachts and Prince Albert’s palace perched over the track.
