Alonso put on the softs and was faster than Max even with some bad couple of last corners :wtf:

Alonso lap was insane! Lando’s lap was done off track otherwise Alonso would be quickest!

That lap came out of nowhere. Piastri and Hulkenberg improved later to knock him to 4th but let’s hope sprint qualifying and qualifying goes that well lol

Alonso encountered all sorts of traffic in those final corners, but it is FP1. Qualifying will tell the real story.

Tbh data from this lap looks too good lol. I think Alonso did his lap with less fuel than others also he did pit lap after while most cars stayed to the end of the session. I hope there is a good pace within the car this weekend, but I will wait at least until today's quali to make any judgment.

Alonso did say that they were going for a radical setup for FP1 and sprint qualifying. If it works, that is a good sign for the simulator.

Running the car low since there is less plank wear on sprints, then raising it for the regular qualy? But I guess others could do that too, unless they are already able to run it low.

Both cars failed to start their lap in Q1. Unacceptable timing mistake from the strategy team.

That was chaos... Luckily both got through due to others being equally incompetent...

Why didn't they pit for a new set of mediums?!

Typical one car team. When will the team learn?

it's not allowed in sprint qualifying. Only one set per session.

P6 for Alonso, well done. Ahead of both Ferraris and Williams.

Sorry, wasn't aware of that. All good then! Nando was right on the money today, extracted everything from the car!
