No pace at all it seems.

The bane of Alo's career has been that most of the time, he's always had a car 0.5s slower than the fastest car. :(

That's true for all drivers for most their careers.
Yes, but not all drivers are as deserving as Nando.

Max is literally a sec faster than the rest of the field in race pace. God knows how we're gonna catch them

Here goes podium. Car is pig in S2 what a waste. Cant even turn it. Tyres gone. This is tyre eater.
What do you thought before? Car ate the tyres in the sprint with fuel for 17 laps.

Was hoping setup changes would work

On the positive site, we seem to be faster than the Mercs. Fernando’s able to keep Russell out of the DRS on the harder compound. Race seems to be against them once again. Heads up.

Pitting for soft tyres makes no sense

Looked fine to use meds with a lighter car for the final stint but SC kinda fogged what's gonna happen.

What should they do, they do not have a second hard, deg is a disaster, they just have to stop again.

Alonso himself keep saying each interview that the natural position is 10th and 9th and we are only racing the MERCs.

If we get 6th or 7th is extremely good. I do not know why people are mad for pace at this stage. This what we have at the moment and just wait for Imola for the first upgrades.

99% this! 1% i think we’re just all hoping for a miracle. But as an old man once said: ‘there was never much hope, just a fools hope’

The qualifying position raises my expectations. The prev years car was better.

Very exhausting to see him lose positions with a tractor during the race.

Still 25 laps to go, but that decision to put Alsonso on softs is baffling... Before the first safety car it seemed clear that the ferraris were going to try to not stop again. So now he either has to try to make the softs last until the end, or be pretty much the only one having to stop again and pass everyone.
