Alonso hopes to shine in … Monaco!

Fernando Alonso eagerly awaits the Monaco Grand Prix where he hopes that the track’s peculiarities will allow him to be among the frontrunners.

The Spaniard believes that while progress has been made with his R28 in recent weeks, the Monaco race, which will take place in May, still represents his best opportunity to finish on the podium.

« Of course, this race is always a bit more anticipated than the others because it’s a circuit where aerodynamics are not essential and therefore, you always have a chance of winning, » commented the Spaniard.

Nelson Piquet and Fernando Alonso finished second and third respectively in Free Practice 2 at the Spanish Grand Prix. However, the double world champion warns us that the times achieved do not represent the team’s current potential.

And in the meantime, ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, the Iberian warned his fans that the issues keeping him, for the moment, in the middle of the grid will still be present on the streets of the principality.

« It is true that you need a certain amount of power in the car for Monaco. That’s what we lack with this single-seater. But we also know that Monaco is a very special circuit where normally the winner of this race is one of the best drivers in the world, » concluded Alonso.
