I was looking at the wind speed and it was going up and down. Between 2 and 9 kph. It was also out of the SW. That makes it a tail wind into turn 3 and an increase in DF when the wind dies down. The wind seem to have gone up when Alonso had his run in Q2. That might explain the differences in times for the guys that finished ahead of Alonso but who's Q3 times we're slower that Alonso's Q2 time.

A little evidence, not a solid argument.
Haha, I'm not the only one. I was also watching the wind, especially after Stroll's P2 time. I think Russell? also said something about the wind on the radio.

The prevailing wind yesterday was south with an average speed of 4 km/h, but with gusts. Apparently, the weather was pre-stormy.

By the way, they should put up more flags. I was looking at the treetops because I think there's only one flag on the entire circuit. I didn't notice any noticeable wind...

Hmm... this F1 thing is complicated. I guess that's why I like it.

ADD: Since Friday, the wind has shifted from SE to W, and tomorrow it's forecast to be N. RBRing has mountains to the north, nearby. So it shouldn't be windy. We'll see. I'm very Cartesian, Diffuser, about mysteries and haunted things... I always assume they have an explanation. But those statements by Fernando (that the car is a rebel)... We'll see. We're in more of a hurry every day, so we'll have to take everything slowly.
Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.

Alonso has a set of new Softs ...if the F1 site is right. It shows 5 sets of Softs, 1 new ...


Maybe they use them at the end ?

He did almost half race on mediums, surely alonso must be on a one stop unless there is a safety car?

P7 should be in the bag here, maybe 6 if he can finally get by lawson...
Might have to defend against Bortoleto near the end though..

Alonso has driven impeccable, no mistakes and only held back by the cars horrific straight line speed. Only chance to overtake Lawson is with a mistake. Just hope Lawson doesn’t drive Alonso backwards into Borteleto who’s on 20+ lap fresher tyres. Hopefully he can hang on to 7th

Borteleto is closing fast with Alonso trapped behind Lawson. I hope Alonso has some tyre left to defend. Lawson has really ruined Alonso’s real pace

And with that Alonso is already caught up in points to his teammate on equal points now ahead of Silverstone. Now people can be quite about the points narrative lol
