The Qualifying for the GP of Monaco was one of the best in this season. For some time there were four drivers with times of 1:11.7 at the same time. Also there are 4 different teams in the first four places.
Max Verstappen claimed the pole position in the last second, he was just 0.084 seconds faster than Alonso, who had more than 0.2 seconds advantage to Verstappen after the second sector. But Verstappen was the fastest in the last sector in every single lap, so it was clear that it will be a very close one. In third place came Charles Leclerc with a 0.106 seconds deficit to Verstappen. Leclerc will start from 6th. place, because he got a penalty for holding up Lando Norris during the Qualy.
My prediction for the race win, Sergio Perez, most probably won't win the race, because he crashed in Sainte Devote in Q1 and will start from last place.
The McLaren crew did a great job as Lando Norris broke his front left suspension as he touched a wall at the exit of the Nouvelle Chicane near the end of Q2. They repaired it quick enough for Lando to take part in Q3. Great job!
