Fernando Alonso has led so very remarkable to a second position that could have been a victory. The Grand Prize of Monaco of formula 1 2011 has been really chaotic, with moments of all kinds, and a way out of the safety car and a red flag that have changed the landscape of the race altogether.
But let's look at what has happened since the beginning. At the start, Fernando succeeded in overtaking Mark Webber, placing it in third place, and starting the fight with Sebastian Vettel and Jenson Button that has lasted until the checkered flag. At the beginning, Vettel has escaped and the two pursuers have kept some distance away.
With time, the first stops in the pits and the first exit of the safety car, Fernando Alonso has been found with one blow in the second position, ahead of Jenson Button, when it had to stop for a second time. This left Alonso second and with options for attacking the German pilot of Red Bull.
But as they passed the laps, although Jenson Button seemed to have it well, because the logic dictated that Vettel and Alonso would need to stop again, what was seen on the track was very different. Fernando Alonso and especially Sebastian Vettel have decided to risk and staying on track until the end, in a very clear courage sample.
Fernando was dangerously approaching Vettel, while Button was approaching the duo head. There were some last laps exciting over not being able, with three pilots with three different tactics to fight for victory and with Asturian pilot with real options win in Monaco.
In the end could not be, and an accident multiple in the pool area has caused a red flag. If the safety car has helped Fernando, red flag he has hurt, because it has been decided finish the race, allowing the participants to change tyres; and the output has been behind the safety car.
A series of strange decisions that I have not finished to understand, because usually when a race has seen more than 75% of the laps contested, if there are red, flag it is terminated. It has not happened, and the final laps have served to little, Fernando Alonso, who has tried everything to attack Sebastian Vettel.
We cannot know insurance if we would have been able to advance to Sebastian Vettel, but he was prepared to try. I was sure that he would have problems in the final laps, and our plan was to attack at the end. But then he turned the red flag, and we found without space or time. In Monaco can always spend everything. In fact, us us has been very good the first safety car, and very poor second. In the end, seconds out rooms is a great result, which helps the morale of the team and now are very beautiful races in Valencia, and Canada where we will try to return to fight for the podium. The important thing is that Petrov is well.
