undoubtedly, but let's face it, senna died the year after he left your team.well, this is what i want to ask you, because i wonder if you've reflected on this in recent years. you, and i'm sure this is a mix of good fortune, but also your management, you didn't lose a driver to death... mm. ..during your entire span as a team boss. if you had... ..do you have the character that would have coped easily with that, or do you think that would have really, really hit you badly? hmm, very good question. i can't give you an honest answer other than to say i constantly reflected on it. would i stop if a driver lost his life in one of my cars? i think the circumstances would have been relevant. there are things that you feel responsible for and there's things that you aren't responsible for. i mean, a tyre failure is a classic example where, you know, the accident can be pretty devastating, but it never... i'm just so lucky i never found myself in that position. but it wasn'tjust luck, you know, we were extremely mindful in the company of the drivers�* need to survive

the world champion equalled ayrton senna's record of eight consecutive poles last time out at imola,l run, leaving him sixth. this car is slippery! there was no catching charles leclerc, but then he was born in monaco and knows the place like the back of his hand. he took the top spot on the grid, more than a tenth of a second ahead of mclaren's oscar piastri. it feels really good. however, now i know more often than not in the past that qualifying is not everything up. as much as it helps a lot for sunday's race, we need to put everything together coming into sunday. and in the past years, we didn't manage to do so, but we are a stronger team, we are in a stronger position, and i'm sure we can achieve great things tomorrow, and obviously the win is the target. leclerc will be hoping his third pole in monaco is lucky, as he's yet to win his home race. nick parrott, bbc news. here is that grid for tomorrow's grand prix, then. lando norris is the highest—placed british driver in fourth, just ahead of george russell in fifth. his mercedes team—mate lewis hamilton will start seventh. you
