Charles Leclerc may be on pole for tomorrow's Italian Grand Prix, his first with Ferrari, but it didn't stop him describing the final moments of Q3 as "a big mess".

Drivers jockeyed around for position on their out laps as they looked to get the tow, but they dithered around for too long, leaving only Leclerc and Carlos Sainz starting their final laps as everybody else ran out of time.

After the session, Leclerc told Sky Sports: "It feels unbelievable. Wednesday in Milan was incredible and to see so many people is amazing. I'm happy with pole but it's a shame at the end it was a big mess and I hoped our last lap was enough.

"The pace was quite good actually during the race simulations, better than in Spa."
