Absolutely not. He was already 1 tenth slower after S2 compared to STR.
Check S3 times. STR Best, ALO best, and ALO S3 in Q3. Now take his S1 and S2 from Q3 and add to them his best S3 in qualifying. And that is a bit on the conservative side, because (probably) he would have been lowering his best S3 time if he hadn't done that mistake at T10.
That would have been P6.
Yes that would have been P6 with 1.12,869, but ,051 away from 5th.. ,053 from 4th, ,077 from 3rd and ,135 from 2nd.
Since he did his best S3 in Q2, and he lowered his Best S2 for about 2 tenths (in Q3), we can add some track evolution and the possibility lowering his Best S3 time in Q3. that's why his engineer told him instantly that lap would have been 12.8 to 12.7, so he told him that P2 was a possibility. That's it.
He and his engineer had this discussion instantly in the cool down lap, i don't know why you are finding difficult to see that it was possible. As i said in my previous posts IMO it would have been P2 or P3. (With floor Damage)
