Verstappen takes pole for Monaco Grand Prix ahead of Alonso as Perez crashes -
“Feels great, I always had confidence in what I could do,” Alonso said. “We’re starting on the front row in Monaco, so job done.”
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was chasing a third straight pole on his home circuit but qualified in third, 0.106 behind Verstappen. Ocon ended up in fourth and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz Jr. was fifth ahead of Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes. Hamilton, who had crashed near the end of the third practice, left it late to make it into Q2 on a new set of soft tires and then also squeezed into Q3 on his last lap.“I’m pushing like an animal,” Alonso said on team radio.
“If an opportunity comes we will take it,” Alonso said. “We cannot take it for granted that all three cars will finish.” Earlier Saturday, Verstappen led an eventful final practice ahead of Perez and Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll. Leclerc complained that he was having trouble heading into the “S” section next to the swimming pool -where Sainz crashed late in Friday’s second practice.
