With a Mclaren in P18 I agree it was. I’d love to hear the radio and see the on board.
Was it Alonso who said that drivers who cause red and yellow flags shouldnt be allowed to progress into the next segment of qualifying?

They've been telling Alonso all weekend to stay off the curb in turn 3, for better traction. He's been fighting that corner all weekend. He hit it hard the spin time trough.
My take is they got lucky, their incompetence has been exposed. Wait till next year and you will demand same.Joseki wrote: ↑29 Oct 2023, 12:14You are asking for people to be sacked but the beginning of the season the very same people were all geniuses.
Thankfully no team is so reactionary and immature.
I think you need to give them time to get the tools together. You're not comparing Apples to Apples yet. It even took Newey 5 years to build a good car after he joined RBR. Before that RBR was inconsistent. The plan has always been preparing for 2026.max_speed wrote: ↑29 Oct 2023, 16:18My take is they got lucky, their incompetence has been exposed.

It wasn't luck, many of their concepts were new. But now they are doing everything wrong and are not taking a step back. 2024 will be bad, the basis of the car is that of this year and it is a very serious problemmax_speed wrote: ↑29 Oct 2023, 16:18My take is they got lucky, their incompetence has been exposed.

"This weekend seems particularly difficult for me. I wasn't doing a good job, always on the wrong foot and lacking confidence in the car. Lance may have had more confidence this weekend. I'm not at my best.
"I don't think it's the set-up. We've tried a lot since Singapore. It's more about the package and us. We go to the limit of grip all the time.
"We lose one or two tenths per corner, it's not that we are missing just one sector. We need to find more performance.
Sounds like he is making excuses for having a poor car blaming it on himself. Of course, he can't be perfect every weekend but these comments are bizarre when we know the car is --- and hard to drive right now-KimiRai wrote: ↑29 Oct 2023, 17:47Alonso:
