When asked about his thoughts on competing in Monaco, Leclerc said: "It's one of my favourite tracks, and it is also very special because I'm born here, I've grown up here so I’m just very excited to be here."
“Unfortunately I've been quite unlucky here in the past, and I hope this luck will turn a little bit around for this year.
"2018 wasn't too bad actually. I didn't reach Q3 but I was with Alfa [then Sauber] and I think it was quite a reasonable result for us here, but not the race though," he added.
"And then quali in 2019, I remember very well what happened, we did a bad strategy choice and it happens. At the end, it's like this. These two times I haven't made it to Q3 but... we'll do everything this year to reach it.”
Mercedes are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they were followed by Red Bull Racing-Honda and McLaren-Mercedes respectively.
