Monaco GP starting grid - Haas penalties shake up the order

Penalties cause a grid shakeup as Monaco native Charles Leclerc claimed pole position in front of his home crowd.

The Ferrari star delivered a stunning qualifying performance, securing pole position for his home grand prix with a time of 1 minute and 10.270 seconds. This marks his third pole in Monaco and 24th overall in his career.

McLaren's Oscar Piastri lines up second, followed by Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris and George Russell to round out the top five.

Max Verstappen's bid for a record-breaking ninth consecutive pole position was thwarted after a brush with the wall on his final lap. This drops him to sixth, with Lewis Hamilton right behind in seventh.

Further down the grid, Haas drivers Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen faced disappointment after qualifying 12th and 15th respectively. The stewards discovered a technical irregularity with their cars' DRS systems, resulting in disqualification from qualifying. Both drivers will now have to start from the pit-lane.
