DRS worked just fine during Sprint. That's a good part.
Tire wear seems to be high. If it remains the same tomorrow, Alonso will get both Ferrari & Merc.

Not sure what happened to Hamilton because he seemed way too slow. The only issue for Fernando I see is that he has to start again on the dirty side once more (though I don't know if Baku dirty side is that dirty)

Strong result for AM, I don’t think we had enough pace to get Ferrari(Leclerc)

[Chanman141]

Also how on earth Stroll still finished after that wall bash! The car truly is built like a tank

[Redragon]

Great race. Well saved with all the problems. Next race the updates

[KimiRai]

Not sure if Leclerc's tires really fell off or he just lifted on the last lap on purpose. Almost perfect execution by Fernando and great tyre deg that brings home a p4 on a weaker track.

What a difference from a teammate last year to one who doesn't wreck the races of both for his own benefit. Thank you to Lance. Either that, or egos are better managed by the team. Whichever way it is let's hope it stays that way and the team spirit between Stroll and Fernando is maintained. Last time the words team spirit were used, Fernando won two world championships...

Miami and Imola which should bring updates

Should Alonso have started to push sooner? That was close at the end. TV direction was poor.

That overtake on Sainz was great. I don't even try to do that move on AI in the F1 game

I would agree with that. At one point he got to just over 1 second behind...LeClerc picked up his pace but Alonso didn't keep it up, he backed off....he should have kept pushing.

Of course, hind sight is 20/20.

I think that message was aired to make the Ferrari team push their guy and hope to make him panic into a mistake.
Alonso does not tell the opposition what he is doing unless he thinks he will benefit from it

Leclerc lost 2 seconds in the final two laps. Unless the tyres died in that exact moment I think he just lifted

I think Charles had him, some laps earlier Alonso brought the gap down to DRS range, Ferrari told Leclerc he was clear to push and the gap went to 3s plus, at the end Leclerc was probably cruising having the podium well on hand.

Alonso trying to help Lance might've caused him problems, shortly after the tip about brake balance, Lance missed his braking and ended up overtaken by Hamilton.
Kinda cool but i don't know if it helped.

[KimiRai]

Fernando, Briatore and Lawrence

[KimiRai]

Krack says they think Miami should be a better track for them.

Did alonso attack leclrec bit late ?. I thought he will start attacking 10 laps to go but did not see much progress till last 5 laps. Overall great race but a bit disaapointed as i still have faith that alonso can fight for championship
