If you're going to hate at Fernando at least do it at the right moment, not when he didn't put a foot wrong this race. Back in preseason you doubted the team and when the streak of podiums started I wasn't able to see you here for months, so welcome back now that you finally recovered the motivation to post.
Corner types and other teams making progress with upgrades, and the Canada package not being worth a huge amount. Ferrari, Merc started the team much worse than everyone expected and even then were quite close to AMR. with some corrective measures Ferrari are quick at some circuits with rear limitationMichelangelo wrote: ↑09 Jul 2023, 16:49How did that car transform to one that’s barely faster than an Alpine?
Agree…Alonso did hell of a job.Great drive.
I could not post. Lol. But i have been reading and watching the team legitimately perform.KimiRai wrote: ↑09 Jul 2023, 18:39Great job by Fernando to defend from cars all the entire race and (safety helping) finishing p7 with a car that was barely able to get into the points.

Also updates not working as expected does highlights Aero department shortcomings. Nonone is saying aston is RB copy but aston is clever inspiration of RB concept. Updates are the only way for Dan to prove himself and newey student who has learnt well and no longer just shadow of him.diffuser wrote: ↑08 Jul 2023, 23:01It's a comment lacking in any thought. You just saying that without putting facts out. Aston haven't copied the beam wing, it's completely different than RBR. The shape of the side pod is a different. Aston have a huge kick out at the base of the side pod, RBR has a gradually almost non existent kick out. RBR side pod is shaped like an upside-down wing, Aston's isn't. Aston's has a huge slot in it(water slide), RBR doesn't. In fact they really haven't copied RBR, they're closer to Alpine if anything. So you're either blind or a troll.
A lot of frustratioin this forum comes from people who are true alonso fans and wanted to win one more time before retiring if there was any other driver along with stroll , team can be forgiven as mid tier team.
Team has brought this scrutiny by signing Alonso and claiming they want to win this season. Now there is no hiding. You can't play victim card ( we are still new, less staff) time for that is over. Kill or get killed.
I think it's just not having the correct car settings to harmonize the upgraded car as a system. I feel that is RBRs true advantage sometimes. They consistently start the weekend with a 99% correct setup where others only reach 95% by qualifying.organic wrote: ↑09 Jul 2023, 18:47Corner types and other teams making progress with upgrades, and the Canada package not being worth a huge amount.

McLaren were already pre-upgrade one of the quickest cars if not quickest through some high-speed corners. They have always produced a lot of df but have issues elsewhere. So now we're at tracks where lot of laptime comes from high speed they can shine. Similar story to Mercedes in terms of high speed performance: they have been quicker in the high speed since start of season compared to AMR except when AMR are able to run their high df RW and Merc run medium
Look at the calendar as well.. lot of tracks focusing on things that amr are good at towards start of year, and as we go on there are more high speed, European circuits like Silverstone. At start of year there are a lot of street circuits.
Alonso has made a career out of driving uncompetitive cars to places that they shouldn't be. Unlike COMPLAMILTON .
