No point saving soft tyres for nothing so why not use them as Martin said. It paid off last time to get Alonso out and it’s done the same again here. As for Q3 thats still out of the question so they lose nothing and gain positions and maximise tyre usage since they would never get out of Q2 anyway

Martin Brundle: “I would have brake-tested Alonso if I were Jack Doohan”

Alonso was picking the slipstream f1 behind Doohan

First run in Q2 are the tires he ended Q1 on.
Just... wow.

This team never fails to surprise me in its ineptness.

It’s the 2nd time in a row that they wasted a set for ALO. Both times his 2nd run in Q1 was already enough to go through. Just let him drive in the normal rhythm!

Looking at the speeds through turns 25 and 26 down to 27 for ALO vs TSU ...ALO is easily 5 KPH slower.

Means they're not creating enough DF from the floor and having to use more beam wing.

They never used that last set of NEW softs @ bahrain, not even during the race. Let's see if they use it here for the 2nd run in Q2.

Just saw ALO sitting in queue in pit lane on 4 used softs.

Not sure why he said that about brake testing Alonso. Alonso was nowhere near Doohan.

Car doesn’t deserve to be in P13 but great effort from ALO anyway

They never scrub tires for quali, the outlap is the scrub.

Was is stroll in the slipstream? Alonso has a greenish helmet this weekend so a bit confusing. But alonso getting out of q1 in this car is impressive no matter how many sets of soft they used

He didn’t even complete the lap that he got that slipstream from Doohan because he was already through. Both used 3 sets and only ALO could make it work so kudos. (Technically Alonso got through on 2 sets)

ALO got a really good slip stream from Ferrari on that last lap...still didn't help.

They're just losing too much time in S3, especially in that turn 25,26,27.
