Lol this is meant to set foundations for next year. I’ll give them a benefit of the doubt since only had 1 practice session.

But onboard with Alonso the car was not turning at all

Yeah I watched the onboard, he had two huge snaps before he went outside of tack limits too...

Did he have those snaps previously?

Sadly, that was an awful qualifying from the whole team. That doesn't excuse the drivers, but this time, we should be more furious with the team... Why did they send them out with only 3 mins to go? It was so obvious 2 runs would be the safe bet here, considering the conditions (only 1 hour of practice time, new asphalt, track limits)...

Alonso and the team should break parc ferme rules and change the setup for the sprint, as it is going to be meaningless anyhow.

Tricky car as Alonso said, sometime if you push the car to the limit you will end up with a slow lap so you need to push the car right % window to go fast. So still early to learn how the new update works.

Oh no. I realized we sound like the team after a new update.

They seem to struggle when there is only one practice, especially with upgrades, but yeah, should probably consider changing setup and start at the back in the sprint

Almost everyone else except Perez improved between 5 to 8 tenths from SQ1 to SQ2. Stroll made a slower lap and Alonso barely improved. It feels weird

Lap is garbage in general.

Alonso said the magic phrase after new upgrades "we need still learning about package" so guys, we know what that means.
Maybe im being a little precoce, but, we will have look tomorrow.

Stroll
"The car felt alright in SQ1, but in SQ2 it became very tricky to drive and we got caught out by track limits. We've got more work to do tonight to look through the data we've collected and understand how we can optimise the updates we’ve brought to the car. I think pace-wise we're in a similar place to where we have been all season."
Not sure why in SQ2 they didn't improve as much as the others at all. Alonsos lap was very poor and I havent seen Strolls but it was 2 tenths worse so god knows how it was.

seen canal plus specifically grosjean was saying alonso was sick and vandoorne was ready to replace him

regards to sprint qualy. i think it was more due to setup change. alonso was a lot quicker in speed traps in sprint qualy compared to fp1
