Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was left speechless after pinching pole position from McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris with a blistering final lap in Q3.

Piastri, who won last time out in Spa to extend his lead at the top of the drivers’ standings to 16 points, highlighted the change of conditions hampering the McLarens during the latter stages of qualifying.

“What?!” Leclerc replied to his race engineer, Bryan Bozzi, after being told the result. He laughed to himself afterwards: “Mamma mia. My God!” The bemusement initially hidden by Leclerc’s helmet remained etched on his face after he hopped out of his car and celebrated with his team.
