HIGHLIGHTS: Watch all the key moments from a dramatic qualifying session in Monaco

Charles Leclerc pulled off a brilliant pole position for his home Grand Prix at Monaco – before crashing out in Q3, which prevented anyone else from bettering his time.

The Monegasque had been quick all weekend, finishing Thursday practice top of the time sheets, and he underlined that pace again on Saturday by nailing a lap good enough for pole, before crashing on his final run in Q3, which ended the session early – just as Max Verstappen was on a very quick lap behind him.
