F1 Monaco Grand Prix LIVE: Practice updates as Verstappen aims to extend lead

Alonso ‘lost concentration’

Fernando Alonso has revealed a loss of concentration caused his Q3 crash in Monaco.

“I lost concentration, so I braked too late, and locked the tyres,” he told Autosport.

“Arguably I could use the escape road, if I think back, but I felt I could make the corner, and I couldn’t.

“So I apologised to the team first of all, because this year every mistake, it costs money for the cost cap.

“So it is difficult to accept, so I’m not very proud of my qualifying. Let’s hope tomorrow to do a better job.”
