Charles Leclerc says 'we cannot do that' as he fumes at Ferrari after Monaco GP
Ferrari team that they 'cannot do that' after his woes in his home Grand Prix in Monaco continued.The Ferrari ace held pole position for the second year in a row but headed in 2022 with a sorry record of never finishing a race in the French principality throughout his racing career and, while that run would end, there was still further disappointment in Monte Carlo.Rain led to a delayed start and a change in race strategy across the grid, with Ferrari making the first move in the pits to change to dry tyres after calling both Leclerc and teammate Carlos Sainz into the pit at the same time.Leclerc came in after his teammate but, immediately after his entry to the pit lane, was told to stay out but the message came too late and Red Bull capitalised, performing an undercut to see Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen gaining places.Ferrari were unable to overhaul their rivals, with Leclerc suffering the pain of not securing a podium finish despite his pole position on the grid as he came home fourth - with Perez winning, Sainz coming in second and Verstappen third. Leclerc could not hide his disappointment following a weekend where he will have hoped to achieve a lot more and it was clear that he points the finger of blame towards his team."No words, no words.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc is on pole for Sunday's race following a chaotic qualifying session that saw Sergio Perez, Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso all crash in the final minute.Two of the three rounds of qualifying were affected by a red flag and, with rain forecast for Monte Carlo on Sunday, it's set to be a thrilling contest as Leclerc resumes his battle for the title with Red Bull's Max Verstappen.The defending champion currently holds a narrow six-point lead over Leclerc in the standings but has struggled for pace across the Monaco weekend, sitting fourth on the grid for the race and being unable to match the pace shown by the Ferrari duo and teammate Perez.With the vast majority of Monaco winners coming from pole position, Leclerc is firmly placed as the favourite in his home Grand Prix but the rain will add a further challenge to the proceedings and McGregor believes that fans will see 'something special' in the French principality from an unlikely source."I'm here for Team Haas and I'm more confident after today's qualifying round.

Red Bull chief calls for 'drastic' Charles Leclerc punishment after qualifying incident
Charles Leclerc should be handed a 'drastic' punishment after the Ferrari driver missed the FIA weighbridge during qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix.In his home Grand Prix, Leclerc secured pole position for the second year in a row following a chaotic qualifying that ended prematurely after three cars crashed in the final minute of the session.Sergio Perez lost control of his Red Bull in the final corner before the tunnel section in Monaco, with Ferrari's Carlos Sainz then hitting him while he was stationary - and Alpine's Fernando Alonso hit the barrier elsewhere on the circuit.While Leclerc has predominantly been the fastest across the weekend, it wasn't a day without incident for the championship hopeful as he missed a message ordering him to attend the FIA weighbridge during Q2 and had to be pushed back by his Ferrari team.Leclerc would have been handed a significant punishment had he made his way to the Ferrari garage, with previous infringements seeing drivers start the race in the pit lane, but he escaped such punishment after the quick action from his team.However, Marko believes that shouldn't have been the case and that Leclerc should have been issued a 'drastic' punishment when speaking to Austrian outlet ORF, saying: "If you punish this consistently, as you do in the junior classes, then there will be a drastic penalty."He drove by.

Monaco GP chaos as three cars crash in final minute of qualifying as session is red flagged
Charles Leclerc took pole for Ferrari after his own crash in 2021 brought an early end to the qualifying session but this year saw even more chaos, with three cars involved in accidents in the final minute of the session.Red Bull's Sergio Perez lost control and spun in the final corner before the tunnel section of the Monaco Grand Prix, hitting the barriers rear-end first and potentially damaging his rear box - with Carlos Sainz then involved in a similar incident seconds later that saw the Ferrari collide with the stationary Red Bull.That puts the Spaniard at risk of a reprimand as it's unclear whether he noticed yellow flags being waved and whether he went too fast under caution, which would result in a 10-place grid penalty after already being issued three reprimands this season.Elsewhere on the track, there was more drama in the final minute of qualifying as there was another accident that would have likely resulted in the session being ended prematurely.Alpine's Fernando Alonso went head-on into the barrier at Mirabeau in a frantic period of events in Monte Carlo, which is widely renowned for being extremely difficult to race around due to the extremely narrow circuit and wide Formula One cars.Leclerc sits alongside teammate Sainz on the front row of the grid, though that could change with a penalty, with Red Bull pair Perez and Max Verstappen on the second row - with the latter not quite finding the pace he would have liked in the session.HAVE YOUR SAY!
