MONACO : Formula One leader Max Verstappen beat Fernando Alonso to pole position at the Monaco Grand Prix on Saturday and conceded even he would like to see the evergreen Aston Martin driver win again.
Alonso was on provisional pole until Verstappen pulled out a jaw-dropping lap for the ages and seized the top slot, with the Aston Martin driver still set to start alongside on the front row. "I think we need the help from Max, but we cannot... take it for granted that all three cars will finish the race with no issues. This is Monaco and it's going to be demanding," said Alonso."I mean, I like to see Fernando win but I also like to see myself win. It's a tough one, I'll think about it," he replied.
Alonso has had four third place finishes in five races since he joined Aston Martin this season and Sunday should see him go at least one better.
