Thanks for the context about Aston's development trajectory. You're correct, I don't follow Aston Martin closely so my comment was unfair.KimiRai wrote: ↑13 Dec 2024, 03:41In COTA Aston brought the final update package of the year which, again, was another total failure that made the car worse. It had so much visible understeer on onboards where you had to steer more than any other team for the car to turn. That Alonso put it on Q3 was a big overperformance already, Lawson did not school anyone.
Most don't pay attention to what happens outside of the lead cars or their favourite team. It's okay to be fair. Not relevant to Ferrari F1 team threadbananapeel23 wrote: ↑12 Dec 2024, 23:23Alonso scored 27 points after the summer break.
Stroll scored...... 0
Alonso did incredibly well, his car was just awful.
Leclerc and Verstappen absolutely put on the most impressive performances that grabbed attention. Leclerc's drive in Abu Dhabi was arguably the best of his career, and the same goes for Verstappen in Brazil, but it's hard for Alonso to impress with a car that sucks.
