Within the aftermath of the Monaco Grand Prix many questioned whether or not Aston Martin had missed a possibility to win with Fernando Alonso’s technique.

Alonso had began the race on the exhausting tyre compound and resisted the temptation to pit till rain began to fall round 50 laps into the race. However when he got here in, Aston Martin fitted one other set of slick tyres to his automobile.

Mercedes workforce principal Toto Wolff mentioned after the race Alonso might have received if Aston Martin had given him intermediate tyres as a substitute. However which drivers did make the courageous resolution to eke their tyres out nicely previous half distance and make it to the top of the race with a single cease?

Simply 4 of them. First amongst these was race winner Max Verstappen, who began the race on the medium tyre compound. He got here in for intermediates on lap 55, having hit the limitations at Portier on his slick tyres however surviving to make it again to the pits. Crimson Bull workforce principal Christian Horner mentioned afterwards they need to have introduced him in a lap earlier – i.e., when Alonso got here in and obtained his slicks.

Each drivers at Crimson Bull’s junior workforce AlphaTauri made the identical technique work. Yuki Tsunoda and Nyck de Vries each hung onto their medium tyres till they had been capable of swap to intermediates. For Tsunoda, that ought to have assured a factors end, however he suffered glazed brakes and slipped again.

Ballot: Vote in your 2023 Monaco Grand Prix Driver of the WeekendOther drivers who began close to the again additionally gambled on operating lengthy within the hope rain would materialise. It paid off for McLaren’s rookie driver Oscar Piastri, who scored some extent after taking the technique his workforce mate wished he’d used.

Like Piastri, Valtteri Bottas additionally began on exhausting tyres and switched to intermediates. He was the primary driver to make the gamble, and although the monitor wasn’t fairly prepared for them at that time, it ensured he completed 4 locations larger than he began.

George Russell might have gained most of all from getting the technique proper. He’d began a below-par eighth, and pitted on the identical lap Alonso took slick tyres. However whereas Alonso efficiently navigated Mirabeau on his slicks, Russell skidded off on his intermediates, dropping a shot at a podium as he did.

Lastly, spare a thought for Kevin Magnussen, one other driver who made it to the rain on his authentic set of slick tyres. Having risked that a lot, Haas gambled too far, leaving him out far too lengthy and ultimately switching to the total moist climate tyres.
