Alonso aiming to put the brakes on Schumacher

WORLD champion Fernando Alonso aims to thwart Michael Schumacher’s bid for Monaco Grand Prix history by adding the most glamorous race on the Formula One calendar to his CV.

Alonso is rapidly ticking off his lifelong ambitions, having become the youngest world champion before being the first Spaniard to win on home ground two weeks ago.

Next on his list is a win in Monaco, the jewel in Formula One’s crown and a race Schumacher has won five times, one short of Ayrton Senna’s record.
