Watching Stroll sit on the back of Albon for 24 laps in the sprint, trying the exact same, predictable move endlessly was frustrating. More so when Alonso caught up and immediately lost 0.5-0.8 per lap in the train.
Alonso Q2 was extremely achievable, the team let him down there. I don't really know what to say about Stroll, his pace compared to Alonso is woeful.

The on paper results are disappointing, but there's been some clear big steps made. Considering Zandvoort is a power track and they are no longer miles off, it's encouraging. My concern is improvements from here on will be much smaller and in line with everyone else making gains.

I am going to maintain, if Honda's upgrade is eventually capable of 30bhp on ICE, this car will be at top of then midfield by the end of the season.

Looking at the telemetry of Alonso and strolls best qualy Laps

Stroll is 14&10 km/h quicker than Alonso on the the final straight of the lap. Is it due to software related stuff?
