Paul to Sainz (2nd) after the accident of Leclerc, Perez (3rd) and Alonso (7th)

“It’s a dream. I’ve been watching the Monaco Grand Prix since I was a kid and dreamed of becoming an F1 driver racing here someday. And I’ve been doing it for four years.” Charles Leclerc In front of the F1 Monaco GP This weekend. He needed to curl the loop and take his dream to the highest level. It’s a victory. And this Saturday, Monaco took the most important step towards achieving it this Sunday by signing pole position at his home GP. But this time he has everything on his face to succeed at home, rain could complicate things with his appearance in Monte Carlo this Sunday. This can complicate everything and turn a Monaco event into a long lottery befitting a Casino de Monaco.

It all ended in two accidents

As a kid, as he was anxious to drive at full speed, local drivers showed the strength of one turn on the grid in the very strict classification of Charles, Sainz, Perez and Verstappen. It became the rank. Fight all three sessions very evenly. Things ended as expected, with a car hitting the wall and a red flag proving Leclerc’s first attempt to give him more than he deserved for a pole position.

Qualifying is almost everything in Monaco. In the last 20 races held in the Principality, “Paulman” has won 12 times.So, on the first guaranteed turn, between the dreaded walls of this urban layoutThe pilot aims to give 110% on the final turn. And that’s when an accident happens. It was the best time it happened in 2021, and Leclerc had an accident in his last attempt. The accident gave him pole position, but he was unable to defend his first place in the race and left before the start due to car damage. A year later, the end was similar, Charles’ pole position after the incident, this time Perez’s pole position.

Monaco was very strong on weekends. He wanted to reign at home, and he knew he had to reach pole position for this. He did it rudely in the third quarter. He led the first attempt ahead of Sainz (0 “225), Perez (0” 253) and Verstappen (0 “290). And from there, everyone played it with a single card. At this time, Leclerc was flying, and the part that passed through was painted purple. However, Perez, who was injured at the entrance to the tunnel, prevented Charles from improving his time with a red flag that ended the session.

Sainz (2nd) could not dodge Perez

Sainz was right behind the Czech Republic and was incredibly scared when he found a car at a Mexican crossroads in the middle of a truck. He turned to the right and tried to dodge the batter, but eventually hit his left rear wheel, which was the least damage that could have been.

In this way, Sainz will start second this weekend, following a good “quarry” in the car he felt more comfortable with. In Monte Carlo, he fought on the front lines with confidence at his best. The second position can only be positive for him after what happened in Barcelona. This Sunday, he will regain the podium where he won his first podium at Ferrari last year. With Charles in front of you, it’s hard to imagine him wanting to take risks with his partner. What can happen in Monaco because of how close the walls are and the possibility of rain during the race.

Alonso, 7th recital

A track where your hands can make a difference Fernando Alonso did it with his alpine.. Asturias drivers took a lot of risk to get the most out of their car in every corner of Monaco and took 7th place, which looked very complicated on Friday. In a very tight middle zone, he fought with great power to be the best of the rest. Spanish, Two Ferraris and Red Bulll, after the first good attempt in Q1 and Q2, gave myself the luxury of saving two sets of new tires for Q3. In his first attempt at Q3, he spent more than eight-tenths on his teammate Ocon. Ocon had to try for the first time with old rubber. At that time, he was able to lead the middle zone in 5th place.

But it wasn’t over. There was another twist. The last bullet. Norris (5th) overtook him on a great final lap with McLaren, but Ricardo hadn’t raised his head yet (14th) and Russell improved Alonso’s time by a tenth at Mercedes to 6th. I made it. The Spaniards had to take more risks from 7th place, but the moment Perez collided with protection, he hit a wall in the middle of the final lap.

Therefore, Alonso starts between the two Mercedes just before Hamilton (8th). Who thought it only a year ago? Fernando had the hardest time getting some good points in Monaco this Sunday. He is almost impossible to overtake and the only chance is to defend them in a race on a track that is a strategy or a possible safety car.
