History repeats itself…
Last year, it was Charles Leclerc's Q3 crash that red flagged the session, leading to him landing on pole. This year, Sergio Perez had a slip of his own, leading to a Q3 flag that ended the session early, with Leclerc back on pole for his home race.

Leclerc earned pole position for the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix, but his late-session crash led to a gearbox issue that prevented him from starting the race.
The Ferrari driver has dealt with bad luck so far in 2022, though he's one of just two drivers to win a GP so far early in the season. As the saying goes, if it wasn't for bad luck, he'd have no luck at all.
Here's how they'll line up in Monaco:

Formula 1 2022 schedule
There are 22 events on the F1 schedule for 2022, one race shy of tying the mark for the longest F1 calendar.
The season started in Bahrain on March 20 and will end with the now-customary Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, although a bit earlier than usual, in November. This will be the earliest end of the Formula 1 season since it ended on Nov. 4 in 2013.
Returning to the 2022 F1 slate are the Canadian and Japanese Grand Prix, both of which were canceled in 2021 amid fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.
The calendar also holds the maiden voyage for the Miami Grand Prix, the first of two races in the United States in 2022, with the United States GP taking place in October.
The Russian Grand Prix, originally scheduled for Sept. 25, was axed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
