(Reuters) - Monaco kicks off Formula One's flood-delayed European season on Sunday with Fernando Alonso sensing a chance to end dominant Red Bull's run of success at the most glamorous and historic of street circuits.

A home race for Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, Monaco would have been part two of a triple-header with Italy and Spain but the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix scheduled for Imola last weekend was called off due to devastating floods.
