      What bothers me is Lance’s performance. I like him and he is not a bad driver imo but this is just embarrassing now …

      It is really interesting to see Stroll doing so poorly. I think it’s a case of Alonso overperforming and Stroll underperforming but who knows

        It’s a reminder of just how outstanding the talents of Verstappen, Hamilton and Alonso are that they make other great drivers look ordinary. To be fair to Stroll there’s plenty of other world-champion-level drivers in the past that Alonso has beaten significantly.

          Fair point. The grid has been reasonable close. I do love that Alonso sounds like hes having a blast while doing it.

        (Edit) Lance isn’t doing super great but the points indicate hes has the same total as Danny Ric managed to get in the entire 2022 season.

    Wow Perez went from confidently saying he can fight max this year to being in serious danger of losing P2 to Alonso in a matter of, what, 3 races? Honestly he’s been so far off the pace the past couple races that Alonso deserves that P2. I hope he can get it, but fair play to Checo if he can get himself back on track.

      Yes, the fight for the WDC is dead (if it ever was alive), but looks as we have a 3-way fight for second. I will just pretend Verstappen is not in the race anymore lol.

    I really hope that Lance stroll can find a bit more pace. I actually like the guy and what his father has done with the team. But in case of a title fight he would just not be good enough as a number 2

    I think Hamilton and Alonso’s quality is showing this year. As for sainz and leclerc, I’m a sainz fanboy, but I can’t seriously believe he’s better. Leclerc must start to claw back the difference soon.
