BARCELONA, Spain -- Fernando Alonso insists he still has "zero regrets" about his decision to skip the Monaco Grand Prix in two weeks' time, despite a sudden return to form in qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix.
Alonso qualified his McLaren-Honda in a season-high seventh position at the Circuit de Catalunya on Saturday and enters the race with his best chance of points this year. He put the result down to a perfect lap on a track that helps mask Honda's power deficit, which bodes well for McLaren at the Monaco Grand Prix on one of the least power-sensitive circuits on the calendar.
