Leclerc anxious to break home race curse with third pole

Charles Leclerc was delighted to claim his third home pole for the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend, although the Ferrari driver is all too aware that success in qualifying doesn't guarantee a win in the race.

Leclerc has been on pole at the Principality on two previous occasions, but neither resulted in victory. In 2021 he suffered a driveshaft issue on the grid and failed to start, while in 2022 a pit stop blunder saw him finish in fourth.

It's given Monaco something of a 'bogey' status for the Monegasque...
