It was my fault - Alonso
Renault F1 Team driver Fernando Alonso has taken the blame for the collision with Nick Heidfeld. Alonso tried to overtake the F1.08 from Heidfeld but aquaplanned against the contender of the German. Both drivers had to come in the pits as Alonso needed a new nose and Heidfeld suffered a tyre puncture.
In the Spanish newspaper 'AS', Fernando Alonso said: "It was going well, but on lap seven I arrived at the Casino corner and I had aquaplaning. On that same lap we had the first safety car. The track was very wet. I had to pit and put on the extremes because I had too much aquaplaning. And from that moment it stopped raining and the track started to dry up.
"We were expecting more water. Then we started to lose too much time. It was desperation. I tried to overtake Heidfeld in a place where you can't overtake. In Monaco you usually can't pass anywhere and neither there. So it was my fault."
Fernando Alonso finished the Monaco Grand Prix in 10th position after winning the race in 2006 and 2007. Nick Heidfeld finished the race in 14th and last position.
