Alonso deserves it....

Why would Alonso be told not to short shift?

Why would Alonso be told not to short shift?

They saw something in the data that showed a weakness, near failure. I'd suspect too much milage on the PU or the transmission he's running in FP. So, lower the stress on it to get it to the end of FP. They'll swap it out for FP2 or maybe they might try and get through FP2 with it. Definately isn't the PU/tranny combo they'll run tomorrow.

Why would Alonso be told not to short shift?

Short shifting limits wheel spin and increases fuel mileage, but it stresses the gearbox and the engine more in addition to limiting the MGU-H energy recovery, and potentially having a knock on effect with the cooling of the PU.

Barring any last minute penalties, Alonso has beaten Ocon in qualifying enough times that Ocon doesn't have enough races to overcome him. Now it's just the points left.

So what about RB front wing in Perez. Rule is rule. Should be followed for every one not specific team. This 30 second penalty is BS and fia is onsided to cover RB as always.

I agree that Perez should be penalized, however this whole thing about who the fia is “covering for” is getting a bit old, first it was Ferrari, then McLaren, then Mercedes and now Red Bull. It is very obvious from this that the fia isn’t covering for anyone, simply that fans dislike any team which is dominating and will pick up on every opertunity to take a shot at them. Just remember every time fans came up with a new joke-name for the fia, fiAMG, maFIA, Ferrari international Assistance, just to name a few

How does giving a penalty AFTER the race prevent another Massa incident? You need the Black and orange flag. It's whoever's responsibily to give that flag fault.

It sets a precedent that things flying of the car is not ok.
What you’re essentially saying is the equivenletn of a landlord who’s building is unsafe, saying, we’ll nothing happend so it’s ok.
The issue is something could have happend, and therefore needed to be raised.
Let’s say this weekend, a car looses a endplate or wingmirror, which flies off and hits another driver in the head who is rendered unconscious and needs to be airlifted to hospital with life altering injuries. Are you still going to well it’s okay, nothing happens last time

You do realise that Massa was hit by a spring, which is why it kept bouncing so high. There was no accident that caused the release of the spring, the part just came flying out of someone's car. It was during qualifing, It wasn't even the race. Basically nothing would have prevented Massa incident except for a windshield, which they've chosen not to run or just never race.

[Alonso Fan]

gotta feel sorry for alonso

[AR3-GP]

Lmao. Whatever.

[Alonso Fan]

i mean after ocon overtook bottas, alonso pulled 4 seconds on him, then started losing bags of time

[Alonsismo]

5 cylinders working during 20 laps

[AR3-GP]

Ocon said Alpine had massive cooling issues in the race. This was one to forget.
