F1, Fernando Alonso’s expectations for the Monaco GP

Fernando Alonso is one of the most eagerly awaited at the Monte Carlo circuit, where he won twice, albeit so many years ago, in 2006 and 2007, and where this weekend Formula 1, with the Monaco Grand Prix, begins again after the cancellation of the Emilia-Romagna one in Imola. Here are the words of the 41-year-old Spaniard.

“For me Monaco is a bit of a home race, the drive to the track is short! It’s great to be back racing after the cancellation of last weekend’s Grand Prix, but we hope everyone is safe in Italy and that in the end this was the right decision,” says Alonso, quote quoted by formulapassion.it. “Monaco is a race that we Formula 1 drivers always look forward to: it’s a thrill to race on these roads, there’s nothing like it. We are curious to see how the car performs on a low-speed circuit like this. It will be important to make sure we get the set-up of the car right and get into a rhythm right away. Since overtaking is very difficult in Monaco, grid position will also be crucial to Sunday’s result. If we can have a good qualifying session, we will get another good result this weekend.”
