Krack just spoke with Servus TV.
According to him this weekend is a reflection of the season unfortunately. They thought they were better, in reality it will be tough. Grip didn't improve over the sessions as they thought it would, which hurts them.

ALO saved by NOR. ..

edit:

This guy is crazy sometimes. Nearly out in Q1, now a monster lap. :twisted:
But maybe his set up comes now into the right window.

He was purple in S3, his gap to BEA in front was perfect I guess.
STR was even half a tenth slower than in Q1.

One spot behind Hamilton and two behind max is definitely ok considerating the car he has these days.

Yeah with that car it is the maximum but both Hamilton and Ver did a very bad lap so the gap with them is not the real one. Tomorrow it will be a good fight with Williams for 9th and 10th.

Alonso decided he doesn't want to make Stroll look decent anymore

I did say I thought Alonso would start gapping Stroll again, especially after the Newey news, he was half a sec faster in Monza, and 1 second in Baku. He almost had Hamilton in Q3 in a much faster car.

Yes and no.
Without the yellow flag he would have been out in Q1. Don't forget...
Whether he or how he set up the car was not right at the beginning, but with a rubbered track he was suddenly much more comfortable.
His Q3 lap was 0,227 sec better than his Q2 lap, but without the massive tow he lost a bit in S3.

Arrival of newey might motivate him to another level.he has best shot in years and if car has chance world will see ruthless alonso. Hope we see a championship fight between young guns and top gun.

After Alonso's last fast lap in Q1, Alonso said he was "unlucky"... I presume that means he got traffic at bad places on the track.

Alonso's first lap in Q2 was on used softs and he almost matched his Q1 time. That's probably why there was such a discrepancy in his times.

First run in Q3 by Alonso's was on used softs.
