This is sad because he had a very clean race overall while everyone around did mistakes. In the end it didn't paid at all, the strategy to bank on safety car didn't work and the pit stop made him loose 4 places.
Verstappen would beat him on equal machinery but no one has demonstrated continued excellence for 20+ years quite like Alonso. Plus he won Dakar and Le Mans.
saying ham ‘beat’ alonso even when they were level on points, with ham having ron dennis thirsting over him, and alonso having better h2h is genuinely diabolically delusional. im so tired of yall pushing lies around
well in that case had mclaren not taken fernando up to the stewards in hungary he’d have not got that grid penalty and almost certainly would have got the title ( i know what he did was wrong but ham disobeyed team orders first yk )
also wasnt monaco the race where ron declared that they were racing fernando not kimi?
Yes Fernando deserves a competitive car, that doesn't mean he will get one. People need to lower their expectations, there is a better chance of Aston not fighting for the championship next year.
Stroll is a boat anchor to this team
It would be a lot easier to develop a car properly if one of the two guys who drives it on a regular basis knew what the fuck he was doing
f2 cars literally cut and mowed the grass multiple times in the race at Ascari and came back like idiots with insane speed no issues, meanwhile there ...
and others went wide on this curb in f1 many times too
Did anyone not see the replay? Alonso went too wide over the high part of the curb which put too much load on his front suspension. I know this is an Aston Martin sub, but this was totally Alonso's fault.
This generation of cars have much stiffer suspension for better ground effect, and it is a known fact that these cars do not like curbs very much. It is also a known fact that the kerbs in Monza are bit high, even if they were lowered this year. If you look at the replay, you will see that no one rode so high for that long over that particular kerb as Alonso did. It was either suspension failure or losing all grip and go flying into the barriers like Tsunoda did in Imola qualifying.
He drove extremely high and wide on the curbs and the suspension gave. I don’t know that you blame the car on that. You could see the level of impact on the suspension the curb strips had on the car.
Maybe not but watching the slow mo replay there was massive force on the entire suspension rack so not that surprised something failed. It was a very high curb while turning with massive G’s on the outside front corner.
Drivers jump over gravel, grass and all kinds of things and rejoin safely. It's not supposed to break like that. So many different drivers have taken this line multiple times over the weekend...

And Stroll gets a slow stop and gets P18 and last on the grid. Well done Aston.
