Alonso up to 13, fighting yuki. Need more rain now...
Passed by Bearman. Wet setup gamble not working if it stays dry.

Sucks, even with the extra rear wing the car in turns 8, 9, 10 and 11 sucks wind.

A decent pit stop doesn't put Alonso back in Antonelli's dirty air, not that it matters anymore.

Yep, notthat he would have been able to keep the Ant behind. Smaller wing.

Another senseless strategy on Alonso's side.

I really hope they messed up a lot this weekend and that this isn't our real pace. It seems like they didn't use any of the updates and everything was a test of them, if not we'll be better next week we can forget about 2026 because there's still something really broken in there.

Failed race, involving another bad pitstop and a questionable strategy. On top of that the FIA have shown that they are too scared to run a wet race at Spa

I had no problem with pitting Alonso as he wasn't going anywhere in the back of the Gasly train. The bad pit stop was the frustrating part as it ensured him to be stuck in another DRS train.

There is so much incompetence in this team. When Alonso started from the pit lane, one of the mechanics rested his arms on top of the right front tyre blanket when the rest of the team removed the blankets and Alonso started to roll. The mechanic did not get the hint, and Alonso had to beckon his arms to get the mechanic to pay attention to what was happening. Where is the discipline with trackside procedures?

They were compromized from the start when they couldnt run the new floor etc. Hope the full new package at the next race shows some better pace.

Race could've started on time, FIA literally waited for track to dry to start the race.

Horrible race, not just from AM but overall the way it was handled by FIA. So boring, I switched to watching test cricket.

Alonso seemed to be running the Silverstone floor and sidepods. I doudt he ran the new low DF front wing with the HIgh DF rear wing.

It was pretty obvious that Alonso was going nowhere when it dried up. With the big bucket in the rear he didn't accelerate as fast into eau rouge, Antman had this speed advantage from after turn 1 all the way to turn 5. Think this was a data gathering expedition by Alonso. Let's hope it's a it's a track specific issue but they just lacked DF from the floor in S2. Even with the Big bucket in the back, Alonso was slower out of slow corners that Antman

I think they used imola floor instead Silverstone, but, doesnt matter, they just change things this wekend. We finally will see "the Silverstone's package" complete in Hungary, and there they will FP to maximize perfomance and setup. If we dont move foward, its over, even next year. Because these pieces emerged from New Wind Tunnel, so, imagine. Neither these parts are working if they cant improve next wekend. Im starting to think similiar to Leclerc, but about AM ( hes thinking about Ferrari obvioulsy). I dont know if this team are capable to be a world champion, they have a Force India Aura.
