Fernando Alonso believes Max Verstappen has shown 'inconsistency' at starts so far this season, and hopes to take advantage of that from the front row. FernandoAlonso MaxVerstappen RedBull MonacoGP Formula1 f1
Having not started from pole in Formula 1 since the 2012 German Grand Prix, Alonso for much of Q3 was giving every reason to believe that this streak was coming to an end.
The first two sectors were far from ideal for Verstappen, but a monster final sector saw him regain the three-tenths needed on Alonso to snatch pole from the Aston Martin driver. “Obviously pole position means a lot here in Monaco, but today, Max was a little bit faster, which is a shame,” said Alonso immediately after qualifying.
“Let’s see tomorrow what we can do in terms of a strategy, if there is any weather coming or something, but we will try to win.”Considering Red Bull’s all-conquering race pace so far in F1 2023, Alonso may well require a change in weather or a big slice of good luck to beat Verstappen if the Dutchman keeps his lead at the start.
