Alonso: Let's see if luck is on our side.

      Fernando Alonso qualified seventh in Monaco. The Aston Martin racer is pleased with the result and believes that he has made the most of the car. His teammate Lance Stroll clocked the nineteenth time and received a penalty for blocking Pierre Gasly.

      Fernando Alonso (7th): "I am very happy with the seventh place in qualifying and I think we did everything we could. The adrenaline is pumping on this track, and you have to take a lot of risks during the lap, but all this makes this the best Saturday of the year. Such a result is a great reward for a racer.

      Usually, seventh place at the start in Monaco means that you will have the same place at the finish, but with the new rules, which include two mandatory pit stops, we will see different strategies and additional opportunities for everyone. Let's see how the race goes and if luck is on our side tomorrow."

      Lance Stroll (19th): "It was a bad qualifying for me. At the beginning of the first session, there was very heavy traffic, which caused me to lose valuable time, and at the end, yellow flags deprived me of the chance to improve my time and enter the second part.

      Let's see what we can do in the race with a two-stop strategy, and whether there will be an opportunity to regain positions. But this requires luck, and the safety car should play into our hands."
