168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso has admitted he “got confused” and spent “50 laps” of the F1 Monaco Grand Prix mistakenly believing that he was on course ☂for a points finish.

The Aston Martin driver finished Sunday’s race 11th behind Alpine’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly but had been convinced he was actually running inside the ✱top-10 and battling to secure the final point on offer in 10th.

After teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll suffered a puncture in front of him and dropped down the order, Alonso believed he was defending from RB’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo in 🌜a bid to salvage a point for Aston Martin, ꧂when he was in fact 11th.

"I got confu♏sed because when we [built the gap] and Lance was in front of me after the pitstops, they said, 'okay, we secured 10th.' We've been doing all this fo♍r that last point,” Alonso said.

"Then Lance had the puncture, I said, 'Oh, now I have all the responsibility in my shoulders with very old tyres to bring t🐈his point back home.' I was driving for 50 laps thinking that I was 10th.

"And then whe▨n I crossed the line and they told me P11, I said, 'Oh, so, uh, all that stress for nothing.' But anyway, it kept me alive.

"I don't know [why that happened]. When the red flag came out, Lance was P10, I was P12. And then at one point they reinstated Sainz in P3, so we were 12th and 14th, we should be 13th and 14th, but Lance was in 🐠front of Daniel that he was not supposed to be.

"So I don't k💯now in which position I started, and I don't know in which position🌺 I was driving.”

Sunday’s race was described as boring by many drivers, with the top 10 finishing as t🐷hey started for the first time in F1 history.

Alonso reckoned the early red flag period for a huge first-lap pile-up ultimately ruined the race, because it allowed the field to change their tyres and subs𝄹equently removed the m♍andatory pit stop rule.

"When there is a red flag and then you change tyres and you go to the end, the only point of interest in a Monaco race is the pitstops that you have to do. I♊f you remove that excitement of a pit stop, then it becomes nothing," Alonso said.

"Maybe it reopens the conversations of when there is a red flag, not ch🧸anging tyres or be obliged to have the same tyre or something, because if not, th🥀ere are certain occasions that the race is compromised.

"In our case it was very unlucky again. I think we didn't have the pace. It was a bad weekend. No doubt about that. We cannot hide our performa🥂nce, but also we cannot hide that we've been very unlucky.

"We started with a hard tyre just to go very end and have an alternative strategy. There is a red flag, so we have to fit the medium and do 78🦄 laps with the med🐼ium, which is a kamikaze strategy, but it was the only way to try to score some points."
