I do remember the lift and coast. Alonso may have made it interesting for Verstappen otherwise, but I was wondering if the Canada update actually hurt the pace of the car overall.Nikosar wrote: ↑22 Sep 2024, 18:07If I’m not wrong, he had the pace to do it but the team told him to slow down as they suspected a relatability issue. And realistically he had only one chance to pass VER after the yellow flag. Turned out later that the car was OK…
But yeah since then they had 12 months going into a wrong direction. Now they should have had enough time to bring something good for Ausitn.
And BTW Newey still had 0 influence on car set-ups or upgrade as someone suggested…
Alonso said he was hoping for tenths of a second pace improvement with the updates. I don't think that's asking for much after two years of going nowhere.
Of courses would caught Sainz with 50%more life in the tyres. The problem he again just saving tyres instead of attack and pass Sainz and go with Leclrec.
I think its one or 2 accounts that post whenever Alonso under delivers, but they been quiet of late?Sherrinford wrote: ↑22 Sep 2024, 19:11This will be my last message in this thread, because I see many bipolar people who first criticized Alonso and now praise him. So personally, I don't I want to discuss more with them. I'm sorry because there are people who even understands F1, but most of them change sides overnight.
I think that’s massively overrated. ALO knew for a longer time that Newey will join, it’s just that he was only able to announce it in September. A lot guys say that he changed his mind to join AMR around the British GP.

McLaren will be forced to modify their rear wing even if they passed static tests.
