You totally forgot to mention who actually managed to pull off that outside pass successfully, didn't you?

Michael Diaz4 said:Wait, what...? He’s not to blame? Please. It’s obviously his fault—just classic Alonso move. It’s always someone else's problem, isn't it? Kimi Räikkönen He proved he’s in a league of his own and honestly five times better than Alonso; it really just comes down to whether the car decides to act up or not. As long as everything stays smooth and he isn't sidelined by bad luck, he's untouchable. Kimi Räikkönen He’s gotta step it up...

Wait, since when does Ferrari have three drivers?😂😂

It’s such a bummer that Mladen J. isn't posting anymore. I honestly think his articles would be some of the most read and talked about stuff here, especially since I think he was actually at Spa 🙂

Taking a corner like that is just pushing it way too far. It reminds me of those wild moves Ayrton Senna used to pull back when he was starting out... Mag always knew how to nail those turns while everyone else was overestimating themselves. To me, Mag proves time and again what a top-tier driver he is—truly elite. The guy just knows how to attack a corner.

Maag always had the touch to navigate those tight spots while everyone else was busy overestimating themselves, and if you ask me, Mag keeps proving he’s a top-tier driver—actually, I'd go as far as saying he's an incredible one. The guy really knows how to hit an apex...

Mladen, is that actually you?🤣

Edward Howard2 said:It’s always easy to play general after the battle is over and claim that Maestro didn't shine this race—but the reality is, before that penalty, he was ahead of Kimi. Since Kimi finished fourth, we’ll honestly never know where he would have landed if it wasn't for that penalty, which he didn't cause and isn't even responsible for. Would he have finished fourth, or would he have been on the podium in third? That penalty completely dictated his race rhythm and significantly tanked his final result. He wouldn't even be fighting Magnussen, Bottas, or those other jokers at the end of the race because he’d likely be somewhere up ahead of Kimi, battling Bottas for a spot on the podium...

Alonso is currently P1 on the grid 👍 if it weren't for that penalty, he would have won the race 👍 if that stupid sponsor decal hadn't peeled off last race and messed up the aerodynamics, he would've won too 👍 and if they hadn't botched the strategy due to some bad calls in the Ferrari pit wall and stayed out one more lap, he would've won that too—it's a no-brainer 👍 ...and so on and so forth. Ever since the season started, all I hear from you guys is constant complaining. For crying out loud, we all know by now that Alonso has basically had to carry the championship on his back, constantly dealing with "if only this happened" or "if only that went right." 👍
