Pics not showing for me either. Maybe if an image has high clicks, imgbb shows this and it's not region related.

So quiet here.

What do you think of FP1 / FP2 ?

Alpine looks bad in my opinion. There is no pace ;/

Or maybe they are still sandbagging (checking setups and energy recovery) before trying pace?

The Alpine releases the throttle very early before corners or on straights, even 200m earlier than Mercedes and Mclaren

So we have it. A P8/P9 team. Half of the car comes from Mercedes and still such a pace. Aston will eat them as soon as they will get on the vibrations issue.

What a shame. What a disgrace.

After abandoning the car improvements in November 2024. After having best Mercedes hardware, most of time on the tunnel, new regulations. And still nothing.


OMG - what they have become. Clowns of f1.

Lol, bit dramatic eh? They clearly don't have a handle on the energy-deployment equation like Mercedes does but none of the customer teams do. It's just a matter of time for them to figure it out since the machinery is obviously capable of great things! No reason why they can't be the 3rd fastest Merc-powered team since Williams have not been impressive either, and that should put them at the head of the mid-field in time.
