It could cause both Ferraris to be vulnerable to undercut.
If the field is close enough, not really... especially given that Norris is starting out of position.
During qualifying there is also way less way to --- up. In the race thanks insane strategies they ruined so many great performance (Monaco, Hungary, Silverstone, Austin, Sochi and many more)...
From my records, he was closest in 2021 on pace, especially the second half of that season.
Alonso is better on qualy paceorganic wrote: ↑29 Oct 2023, 19:25Its undeniable, even if you could claim that the Ferraris he's had were good on 1-lap. You can point to Silverstone and Baku in 2020 and many other performances that year which showed his supremacy over a lap.
He's obviously the best qualifier on the grid and more often than not will have pole if the car is capable of it imo
Totally agree. I would just say Sakhir 2020 was his most impressive qualy for me... putting the SF1000 in 4thorganic wrote: ↑29 Oct 2023, 19:25Its undeniable, even if you could claim that the Ferraris he's had were good on 1-lap.

Qualy pace has never been Alonso strong point imo. He's like Max, his comparative advantage is being a pure racerAlonsismo wrote: ↑29 Oct 2023, 19:41Alonso is better on qualy paceorganic wrote: ↑29 Oct 2023, 19:25Its undeniable, even if you could claim that the Ferraris he's had were good on 1-lap.

that is what a lot of people think because alonso is a freaking GOD on race pace, overtake, deffense and starts, but if you analyze what he has done against his teammates, only Senna has better statsSpoutnik wrote: ↑29 Oct 2023, 19:43Qualy pace has never been Alonso strong point imo.

Max is superfast in quali. The difference is that he has always driven a strong "race" car. For Charles is the opposite (on top of having to deal with understeer all the time thanks to the genius of Binotto Sanchez and Cardile).Spoutnik wrote: ↑29 Oct 2023, 19:43Qualy pace has never been Alonso strong point imo.
