Alonso had floor damage, but he was heading for a top 3 spot until he made a mistake at turn10, that ruined his S3 time. If he had a clean S3 he would have been somewhere between 2nd and 4th
Probably 2nd or 3rd if you ask me.
It's easier to make a mistake with a damaged car, we don't know how it has affected the balance. Team will tell us later
Alonso might want a say, his floor will get fixed, the car was very well balanced friday.Jambier wrote: ↑03 Jun 2023, 17:29You always have several bad race in a year.
That’s why VER will not win them all.
So today was bad, bad luck with damage, but without that top3 was clearly possible and podium tomorrow
Now let’s see what is possible with clever strategy, car fixed and maybe rain.
Obviously SAI and HAM will be the strongest competitors in this top 10 ( VER is on another world anyway)
The car is so dominant it should be a RB 1-2 but in a way they are lucky Perez is having issues so it doesn't show the picture as it shouldBisonas wrote: ↑03 Jun 2023, 17:35That's for sure.
I am not arguing that.
Now we can only wonder how close to VER would have been, without the floor damage.
According to Alonso "couple" of seconds.
RB may be a dominant car, but not all drivers are dominant in that car.KimiRai wrote: ↑03 Jun 2023, 17:38The car is so dominant it should be a RB 1-2 but in a way they are lucky Perez is having issues so it doesn't show the picture as it should
I dont think there will be any drama, they and the team know what to do in case any of them is faster. Lets wait for Lap 1 first anyways.
Absolutely not. He was already 1 tenth slower after S2 compared to STR.
