Leclerc held the position but then, sweeping around the long right-hander, put a wheel off the circuit and lost control, spinning violently into the nearby tyre barrier.
The Monegasque left the cockpit unaided but then looked dazed as he sat down on the grass nearby. He was taken to the FIA medical centre on-site, where he was cleared. Unofficially, the crash has been measured at 60G.
The grand prix was then stopped with a red flag as track marshals looked to repair the tyre barrier.
Leclerc had battled with Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton on the opening lap, with the Briton losing out and dropping down the order to tenth. Hamilton accused Leclerc of pushing him off the circuit as they competed for third.
Kimi Antonelli claimed a memorable win from 19th on the grid, with George Russell having to settle for second and Max Verstappen in third.
Hamilton, on a day of disappointment for Ferrari, came home sixth.
