Fernando Alonso explains why he wrongly thought he was on to score the final point in Monaco.
but had been convinced he was actually running inside the top-10 and battling to secure the final point on offer in 10th.suffered a puncture in front of him and dropped down the order, Alonso believed he was defending from RB’s"I got confused because when we and Lance was in front of me after the pitstops, they said, 'okay, we secured 10th.' We've been doing all this for that last point,” Alonso said.
"And then when I crossed the line and they told me P11, I said, 'Oh, so, uh, all that stress for nothing.' But anyway, it kept me alive. Sunday’s race was described as boring by many drivers, with the top 10 finishing as they started for the first time in F1 history. "When there is a red flag and then you change tyres and you go to the end, the only point of interest in a Monaco race is the pitstops that you have to do. If you remove that excitement of a pit stop, then it becomes nothing," Alonso said.
