Alonso and Leclerc, for the comeback

While he will start inside the top 10 of the standings, Fernando Alonso did not show the performance that took him to second place on the podium in Monte Carlo. The Spaniard was ninth, three places behind teammate Lance Stroll.

For his part, 2022 poleman Charles Leclerc had a Saturday to forget, finishing 19th and saying goodbye in Q1. In a very complicated start to qualifying due to some rains that affected the track, the Monegasque had his own problems with a Ferrari with problems at the rear. "Unbelievable," he said after being left out by just 205 thousandths.
