Fernando Alonso was 'surprised' by questions surrounding his MonacoGP strategy, with two stops in as many laps on Sunday. F1
Fernando Alonso was surprised when the decision to pit for dry tyres as rain arrived in Monaco was brought up in several post-race interviews.
The team decided though to keep Alonso on the slick rubber by fitting a set of medium tyres, and with the rain soon spreading across the circuit and making dry-tyre running impossible, Alonso was in on the next lap to switch to inters. Aston Martin team boss Mike Krack has since revealed that the radar had told the team that very little, if any rain was going to reach the track.
“But that minute and a half that it took to go through Turns 5, 6, 7 and 8 again, it changed completely, so the out-lap on the dry tyres, it was very wet when I go to those corners, but the lap that we stopped, it was completely dry.”Quizzed on whether he felt Verstappen was beatable if the track had stayed dry, Alonso put a stop to such a thought, saying “we didn’t have a chance” in his opinion.
