While it has been consistent and reliable, it is certainly not all that fast. I think that's what people are saying. Like you said, both poles done in the wet, I don't remember Silverstone qualifying, but yesterday was just a matter of changing tires at the right time.fiohaa wrote:really fed up with people that keep saying Alonso doesn't have a good car, or one of the best.
It is quite clearly one of the best cars in the field now, if not the best. Pole at silverstone in the wet where you need downforce, pole again and controlled the race, against a much improved mclaren and a Redbull which dominated Valencia and won Silverstone - and that was only because ferrari got the tyre strategy wrong.
its been consistent, ultra reliable, and it seems to work in whatever temperature - so it quite clearly IS a brilliant car now, and has been for the last 3-4 races.
Today they did everything right, and Alonso surely controlled the race. But it was clear his pace did not match Button's or Vettel's. They all said so after the race, btw.
