Local hero Charles Leclerc lamented the traffic that affected him in final qualifying on Saturday and admitted he was frustrated at missing out on his fourth Formula One Monaco Grand Prix pole position for Ferrari.

Charles Leclerc thrilled the Ferrari fans by setting the pace in both practice sessions for his home Monaco Grand Prix on Friday after overcoming an early collision and despite low expectations.
