He then joined Mercedes in 2012 and played a key role in bringing Lewis Hamilton to the Silver Arrows before he passed away in May 2019.
Leclerc has had regular bad luck at the Monaco Grand Prix dating all the way back to his debut in F1. The Monacon crashed out on his debut F1 race in Monaco while at Sauber before having to retire from the 2019 race with Ferrari.
The 2021 race looked to be Leclerc’s turning point in his home race after taking pole position. But a crash in the final minutes of Q3 resulted in Leclerc being unable to start Sunday’s race after a failure in the left driveshaft was detected.
He’ll be hoping for better fortunes this year in his battle with Max Verstappen for the 2022 world championship.
