In the current season, beating either Max Verstappen or Sergio Perez seems impossible thanks to the RB19. However, Formula 1 is known for its uncertain and fickle nature. We have seen many times a driver, with a stroke of luck, stand atop the podium because of this uncertain nature. Apart from that, there is also pure class. Combine the two and we get Fernando  Alonso heading into the Monaco GP weekend. Allow us to explain.

Despite his advanced age of 41, the Spaniard is not showing signs of slowing down, especially with the AMR23 under him. Alonso, the one-man army, is considered the only driver that can take the fight to Red Bull juggernaut. However, despite his evergreen talent and the prowess of his vehicle, even the Spaniard will need a stroke of luck. As seen on F1’s official Instagram page, he might’ve just gotten this stroke of luck ahead of the race in Monaco.
