Now in retrospect Alo said some days ago that the objective for these final races was one last podium this season so he already gave a hint that the car would improve, though to be honest not sure if enough for a podium.

Not sure about that one..OnEcRiTiCaL wrote: ↑04 Nov 2023, 21:39Everybody killed the tyres not just Aston. Top10 will be possible, but max P8. 2 Redbull, Ferrari, Mercedes looking fast.
Piastri's tires were dieing at the end. Sure Alonso would have gotten him on the next lap.Spoutnik wrote: ↑05 Nov 2023, 15:12Not sure about that one..OnEcRiTiCaL wrote: ↑04 Nov 2023, 21:39Everybody killed the tyres not just Aston.

For Ferrari it will depend if they can run the race in clear air
I think McLaren are faster, it's just Piastri is lacking race pace. But for Merc it's clearly possible to finish ahead of them. Ferrari will be weather/traffic dependent as they had issues with the temp. The AT will be in the mix toodiffuser wrote: ↑05 Nov 2023, 16:19Piastri's tires were dieing at the end.

Thing is, the race is different. You're gonna have atleast 2 pitstops. You have 3 sets of tires to keep in their wear windows. If you're tire wear is only 1 or 2 laps more per set, it's manageable with a harder tire in between.
Even though the first part of the season exceeded all expectations, in the end it looks like it will end the season as the 5th car, which is a good step all things considered, let's not forget the journey. We want another step next year though.
