Although Charles Leclerc salvaged with a second place at the Temple of speed it was Max Verstappen who won on Ferrari's home ground. The Dutch driver was miles ahead when the race was neutralised 6 laps from the end. George Russell completed the podium in third.

in the longruns yesterday, Alpine and Mercedes looked more or less equal on pace. But yeah, Alonso would definitely need to beat Russell and Norris today, and then hope for Perez (and maybe also Sainz) to get stuck somewhere tomorrow.
No, I disagree about the podium part. He had one podium in the last five races. Yes he lacks pace, no he is not a regular podium contender.politburo wrote: ↑10 Sep 2022, 15:21No, I'm not you're just proving me right actually, he scores podiums as the car is fast but otherwise he's mediocre - essentially the same as last season. In Austria Perez was fighting with Russell. His teammate could comfortably make an extra pit stop and still was several seconds ahead of him by the end of the race. And then there's Spa where he was absolutely nowhere near the pace. They driving the same machinery mind you.
Just look at the average pace delta from Verstappen to Perez in both the race and in qualifying you'll see what I'm talking about.
