Monaco F1 GP qualifying results: Verstappen runs the perfect sector during a perfect lap to win his first Monaco F1 pole.
World Champion Max Verstappen claimed pole position for Formula 1’s Monaco Grand Prix in a mesmerizing final shootout around the streets of the Principality Saturday.
Fernando Alonso seized the initiative early; Verstappen stole back the top spot before – unexpectedly – Esteban Ocon and then hometown hero Charles Leclerc vaulted to the front.Alonso reclaimed the leading position and Verstappen’s final lap looked insufficient after the second sector, two-tenths down on Alonso’s best, and pole appeared to be within sight for Alonso, his first since 2012.
Alonso conceded that he was “increasing the level of risk to an uncomfortable level” through his qualifying laps in Q3 but was delighted to capture a front row position.“I think even if it feels very close the pole position, we have to be happy,” said Alonso, who radioed his team during the session to say he was “driving like an animal.”
