now alonso is on long run, 1;37 ish

That's quite quick. Verstappen and Sainz in the 1:38s

it seems Medium is the goldilock for Alonso

If Alonso can qualify well and get a good start he could win this. I realise the boardline schizophrenic nature of the statement compared to my FP1 comment haha

boardline or borderline? well lets hope for a smooth qualy, and it seems Alonso's long run is better than the Ferrari and Mercedes

Very much the latter!

Agreed, best long run pace of anyone apparently.

If race pace are like FP2, it will be a great race to watch, 4 1/2 teams fighting for win, Red Bull vs Ferrari vs Mercedes vs Mclaren vs Alonso.

Which means qualifying and strategy will be really important on track like this. Makes me nervous as they're not AMs strong suits.

I think you are right. I feel like a broken record, but where was Stroll? +0.9 off Alonso. I know it was practice, but he looked nowhere near the same pace from onboards.

What a shame that Lance is no where to support Alonso in any way...If Lance can qualify somewhere around 5th or 6th; he can hold others to give options to Alonso to attack win.

I'm so excited for the race, I feel like barring any mechanical issues Alonso will have a great result on merit this weekend

What could Lance do? Hit him or near miss him on lap 1? (Bahrain, Australia).

In this form....he really cant do anything
I am just excited to hear excuse for not performing from his side of garage.

This is the reason why we were so slow in FP1

What happened to the much hyped front wing?

We don't have a clear explanation yet, what is believed at the moment is some change was done but not mandatory to declare.

Yes. Quite strange. From everybody talking about it, to no mention of it at all. Even though not mandatory to declare, any pics or comparisons? Did any reporter question Krack or anyone else about it? Or is it that they've kept it a secret and are going to debut it in FP3 and go .5 sec faster?
