All the attention might’ve shifted to the Spanish GP. However, there are still some who can’t help but wonder about the events in Monaco, specifically if Fernando Alonso could’ve won the race. This question is still up for debate only because of the data that proves there was a possibility of Alonso coming out of the pits ahead of race winner Max Verstappen. However, the critics who are calling the Monaco GP double pit stop a blunder from Aston Martin are shunned by the boss, Mike Krack.

Despite a possible mishap, Fernando Alonso has maintained his optimism and positivity toward the Monaco GP strategy. In fact, the Spaniard defended it as well after the race with logical reasoning. However, there is data now to raise questions about the team’s decision. Despite that, speaking to Race, Mike Krack is adamant the team made the right call.

“If ‘aggressive’ means ‘gambling’, the answer is clearly no,” said Krack. “We are not gamblers, we are a data-driven team. We look at all the information we’re having. So, if that is what you mean, then the answer is clear.”
