MONZA, Italy: Charles Leclerc took pole position for the Italian Formula One Grand Prix to send Ferrari hopes soaring on Saturday while George Russell joined him on the front row for Mercedes.
"It is a very good surprise today, considering where we come from," said Leclerc, alluding to the Italian team's struggles in qualifying at Spa-Francorchamps last month, as the army of Ferrari fans celebrated a home success. The pole was the Monegasque's eighth of the season and first since France in July, and it came with Ferrari president John Elkann in attendance.Red Bull's runaway championship leader Max Verstappen, 109 points clear of Leclerc with seven races remaining and chasing his fifth win in a row, was second fastest in qualifying but will drop back for Sunday's start due to a five-place penalty.
Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, Red Bull's Sergio Perez and Russell's seven-time world champion team mate Lewis Hamilton qualified third, fourth and fifth respectively but all have significant penalties.Lando Norris will line up in third place for McLaren after qualifying seventh.
