ALO couldn't beat his time in S1 & S2 but found 0.13s in S3. Decent job overall.

Damn, what a gift... Shame for Max. Norris got lucky there.

P8 and perhaps P7 grid if Gasly gets a penalty. Hands down, he proved me wrong this time. Only remaining detail is the lap could have been a little bit better but well done Alo.

Awesome job by Alonso, but points tomorrow will be hard with this car.

Kind of irrelevant. I don't know how Alonso is supposed to keep the Haas and RB cars behind him tomorrow.

We don't really know how this upgrade is gonna effect tire life, lots of unknowns ... Even if the Haas is faster it's gonna be by what a tenth ? In race trim that's nothing. Doubt he can keep Perez behind though. There is always hope Perez put it in the wall though ....

This car's traction is so bad out of turn 11 that cars with DRS should get by without too much trouble. I watched some of the Haas onboards, and that looks a lot more stable than the Aston Martin.

Alonso dragged this Aston into Q3. Great laps by the goat 🐐. We need Newey direction asap, Nando can only do so much with these “upgrades”

If race pace is crap then there's not much to do other than being lucky with a safety or something like that. It looks very difficult for tomorrow.

Alonso says he hopes Mexico with 3 FPs allows the team to put the car in the right condition, though the same was said last year too and it was a disaster

Unfortunetly, tomorrow will be a Dejavu, where Alonso will defend and lap by lap he will lose positions and always he will driving to defense and never atack. Honestly? they said " we undertand the car now and now we know what is the right path". Anyone believe on that? The car looks terrible again, zero pace, for me, they are still completely lost about everything and 2025 will be another empty year. Poor Alonso and Lawrence. Im surprise noone was fired yet.

Yeah. My bet is that they're still lost.

An F1 car is obviously massively complicated, and it's tenths of a second what makes the difference.

They better find the right path.

Also, goat. One more time. Respect.

what is alonso's status now? is he still too old, or did he get good again? its so confusing. either way i hope newey breaks his gardening leave soon. as much shady stuff as redbull gets away with, i dont see an argument for him not to. that car is an embarrassment. someone should be ashamed of themselves

Almost 1 second from the McLaren and Redbull at qualification. From where the hell did you take that tenths?
