Monaco Grand Prix: Alonso's Slick Tyre Call Defended in 99% Dry Track.
Fernando Alonso defended his decision to switch to slick tyres during the Monaco Grand Prix, stating that the track was "99% dry" at the time of the pit call. Alonso had to make an additional stop for intermediates due to worsening rain, which cost him a chance at victory. He commended his team for their aggressive strategy of starting on hard tyres but admitted that they did not have a chance to beat Max Verstappen, who won the race due to his superior pace.
