Charles Leclerc hints Ferrari car ‘inconsistency’ a factor in F1 Monaco GP qualifying crash
Charles Leclerc attributed his crash during qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix to a combination of factors, preventing him from securing another home Formula 1 pole position. Despite Ferrari’s strong performance on Friday, Mercedes, led by Andrea Kimi Antonelli, clinched pole position with Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton following closely. Leclerc, initially holding provisional pole, ultimately crashed on his final Q3 lap while trying to improve. He admitted to facing struggles with his brakes, impacting his performances in recent races and making it difficult to predict how his car would react on track. Leclerc aims to resolve these issues before the next race in Barcelona to improve the car’s consistency and his confidence in driving.
