Ok fair enough, I didn’t appreciate or understand the sarcasm, so took it at face value. Funnily enough 2012 was my first year on this forum too.scuderiabrandon wrote: ↑24 Sep 2024, 21:29Alonso will take a dig at Ferrari at every opportunity he gets. I'm sure you can find at least 4 articles on 4 different occasions this season alone where he has done said similar things.CjC wrote: ↑24 Sep 2024, 21:04I appreciate the welcome but my reffering to needing ‘courage’ was a naughty response to something DoctorRadio said in the Mclaren thread yesterdayf1316 wrote: ↑24 Sep 2024, 20:24
No need to feel nervous! Thank you for posting and contributing!
Imho this is a bit of Alonso showing how well he did by overemphasising the strength of the car just in front, mixed with the fact that Ferrari were genuinely very strong. I do think McLaren - Norris in particular - were a little stronger though.
Im a 12 year veteran really
Anyway, yes I too believe it was just Alonso massaging his ego after a fairly decent drive
I think Alonso also has a “I could have won x more championships if I’d stayed at Ferrari” narrative in his head too, so I’m sure that’s part of it. The Ferrari was genuinely very fast in clear air though - 2nd and possibly 3rd as well should have been on the cards as Piastri didn’t look too special and Max had his struggles.
