Let’s hope we have a good race… Both cars in the points should be the target

Do you think we will manage to get 4th in the end or will Ricciardi mediocre form cost us? Do final spots even matter with the cost cap?

I believe the car has potential to finish P4 in the WCC… Whether it will happen or not will depend a lot on RIC’s form.

Does it matter to finish P4 or P5? You will find different opinions regarding that, but ultimately the Team works hard to finish as high as possible in the WCC… Been “best of the rest” behind the top 3 is always positive, there is good marketing to be had by beating a works team such as Alpine, better for the sponsors… Does having 5% more CFD / Wind Tunnel time compensates for that? I don’t really know

Didn’t the team have to change his wing so is on higher downforce?

Seeing Albon with one of the slowest cars passing Daniel with a much faster cars is sad. His performance these two years with very few exceptions are sad to watch and to be honest I am tired of excuses.

Yep so down on top speed and Albon has one of the fastest cars in a straight line

On another note would I be evil if I said that I enjoy seeing Ferrari being the absolute clowns of F1 paying all that carma from their past?

Sad day when Albon in a Williams is faster on genuine pace than the McLarens

Race pace will improve once the car is lighter. It just doesn’t like high fuel running and it’s being destroyed by not being able to overtake on the straights

Have they found out a way to reduce that drag problem?
