Well, we lost 4 points and there was to surprise saftey cars :(
Yeah this year is starting to remind me of Alonso’s Alpine days where only his side of the garage had all the reliability problems. AM need to sort this out.

Lance had a horrible pit stop too, so the team screwed over both drivers today

I read somewhere that the light that tells Lance to go did not work so Lance stayed longer in his box.

That was a painful year, especially when the former Alpine management blamed Fernando for the engine and mechanical failures.

in the end they took to much of a gamble with Stroll, hoping for a late safety car. Hadjar scored a point on a normal strategy, and he was behind before his pit stop.

Alonso has had all the colours of the rainbow when it comes to failures. Engine popped, brakes failure really early doors into a race and now suspension. Not sure what is causing this but there is definitely a quality issue somewhere.

The team went super aggressive with Stroll again and hoped for a late safety car. I do not know why they did not change the strategy for a pitstop on lap 40 for new mediums.

In China, a piece of debris got stuck in the brake duct and caused a runaway thermal effect. Pure unlucky.

They probably calculated it was there only hope for points. You only rely on luck if tge speed isn't there.

They are running the same suspension as last year. Hard to fault the team for a suspension issue, when they haven't seen it on either car in the last 40 races plus testing.

Just the way it failed made me think maybe someone forgot to tighten a screw

lol We haven’t reached those dizzy heights yet. Although Kracks comment about Alonso “being angry at the world” was a bit defensive and uncalled for. Alonso gives 110 and just wants the same returned.

So is the pop up, cause of a bump it hit, or "cause it broke"? My money is on "cause it broke", then there was nothing left to restrain the tire from rising. So small bump, small bump,
small bump, small bump, break, big rise from tire.
