After starting the season in seemingly poor form, Alpine had started to show signs of improvement in Spain and Portugal. However, they have regressed at the ongoing Monaco Grand Prix, and the two-time world champion driver Fernando Alonso wants to know why.

A disappointed Alonso would start his race from 17th place on the grid while his French teammate, Esteban Ocon, will start in 11th.

Fernando Alonso feels they need to investigate their performance

As quoted by Autosport, Alonso said, “There’s still some question marks I think for the team to find out. I think in Portugal and Barcelona we were definitely progressing and being quite competitive while here we were quite down on the times.

“So it’s still a little bit under investigation,” Alonso concluded.

The Spaniard feels there was a lack of pace at Monte Carlo

The two-time world champion didn’t make it past Q1 and feels the lack of pace in the car was the reason he got knocked out in the first quali session.

Alonso said, “I think the whole weekend we’ve been struggling a little bit with the pace. We were expecting more from Monaco on our package, but we didn’t deliver.

“The race is going to be difficult starting at the back, no doubt. But let’s see what we can do,” he concluded.
