Fernando Alonso is expecting a “crazy” Monaco Grand Prix as he prepares for his first race there in two years.

The two-time World Champion missed the race in 2017 as he opted to make his debut at the Indianapolis 500 in his quest for the Triple Crown.

Jenson Button deputised for the Spaniard, but Alonso will be back behind the wheel in Monte Carlo and looking for a sixth consecutive points finish.

“Heading back to Monaco will be really exciting after a little break last year!” Alonso told the official McLaren website.

“I loved the Indy experience of course, but Monaco is also a really special place to go racing, and it’s easy to see why it’s such a famous venue for a grand prix.
