yes, the transfer to the new factory should be done before the month ends, unless they are little bit behind.

He was in doubt if you listen the radio and at the end of the day if the team tells him rain is going to be light or go away in a few laps, why should he question it?.
It was what it was....I questioned Alonso's insistence on pitting when he did while Max was soldiering on. One more lap and they would have no choice but to go on to wets. In retrospective he was right. That extra lap by Max almost put him into the wall and cost him the race.
What difference does it make? Alonso was no better off on a new set of slicks than Verstappen on the old set of slicks so pitting 1 lap earlier had no purpose or benefit relative to Verstappen so I don't understand how it was "the right call".

I'm presuming that the increased amount of rubber on a new set of mediums is able to maintain heat longer, plus freshly out of the blankets. The new Medium where probably still warmer after that 1 lap than the hards were after 54, therefore, marginally better traction that the used hards.

Ferrari will be strong in Spain and apparently theyll bring a lot of upgrades too so we need to be careful.

The circuit characteristics very much suit the AMR23. I think also a new floor for AMR as well as satellite bodywork (brake duct housing etc) is likely this weekend.. so I'm not too concerned that Ferrari would be quicker. Amr is very kind on the tires and this track will punish them - especially with new final corner

Aston will be strong here as well yes. I meant that Ferrari likely will too at least according to what I've been told. Of course I wish the first part to be true and the second to be false.

AM never tells what updates they will bring.

But they spoilered, that there will be on a new front wing (from the updates in Monaco):

They are changing the suspension again? It could be the usual Alonso steering upgrade.

Alonso is known for his determination to decide on his own strategy in these types of situations. It's not the first time he made a mistake, not choosing the intermediate tyre lost him his best chance of victory this year.
on the sky broadcast they clearly stated that alonso questioned the tire choice before he pitted. they didnt play it but the strategists apparently told him that it was the best choice to go onto slicks. unfortunately it may have cost them the win.

What are those "sources"? According to Krack it should just be some things that didn't go to Monaco. It's weird.

That account is a fake, no one exists with that name in Aston.
You should be more careful who you listen to, or you'll think every GP comes a trillion upgrades worth twenty seconds
