Carles Leclerc has brushed off any suggestion he crashed deliberately at the end of qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix.
Leclerc's collision with the wall prematurely ended the session when he had set the quickest time. It gave Ferrari its first pole position since Leclerc's at the 2019 Mexican Grand Prix.
Leclerc, who grew up in Monte Carlo, made a mistake on the exit of the Swimming Pool chicane, leading to a collision into the wall. Max Verstappen was also on a timed lap he felt would have been good enough for pole, but red flags meant he had to abort the lap.
