It’s honestly even worse than what we saw over at Ferrari, though they’re essentially dealing with the same headaches.

People don't care about a random 5th place finish or sliding back to 15th; they only remember the wins and the championships.

I mean, Alonso is doing an incredible job out there, but it feels like he's fighting a losing battle when you look at how the pit crew operates and how much of a disaster the aerodynamics turned out to be during the race at Circuit of the Americas.
Circuit of the Americas is basically the ultimate litmus test where you can really see the gaps in raw performance, downforce, and whether the car's entire concept actually holds water.
At the end of the day, Ferrari is in way more trouble than most people realize.

Gary Palmer8 said:haha "best on the grid"—man, that's rich!

Seriously though, good joke, gotta hand it to you. 🙂

I mean, the guy is in a car that was sitting P3 in qualifying, yet he's still trailing the leaders by a full lap. 😁

Ferrari really dropped the ball on this one.

Maybe try actually watching the races instead of just skimming the results if you want to make comments like that, buddy. 🙂

Man, there's no point in arguing when the train is already pulling into the station 😢

Maybe Red Bull's DRS will finally give out 😬 🤣

Red Bull will likely run out of luck with the DRS first, which isn't exactly a surprise given how Ferrari struggled with theirs over the last couple of races.
My main worry is that Ferrari can't just ride on Red Bull's tactics anymore; they actually have to start making their own calls.

Unbelievable 🤦

He hasn't even warmed up his tires yet and he's still got way more grip... what kind of rubber are they running? 🙏

How'd it go? I ended up passing out right after the third lap. 😍

Just let him troll.🤣

If my memory serves me right, I was busy trashing Vettel and rooting for Alonso the last time I checked in.😂

Major props to Vettel on pulling off that win, and honestly, Alonso really showed some serious grit with that opening lap 😁

I think Alonso and Webber are gonna struggle out there; their strategy is totally off.
The director deserves a bullet for this one.🙂

What an absolute genius director... Alonso and Webber are neck and neck out there, and this guy decides it's time to head to the pits 🤣

Alonso starts in 4th, but somehow finds himself leading the pack after just one lap.
Button kicks things off from 5th, though he’s already tumbled down to 10th by the end of the first circuit.

And now... 🤦

The geniuses over at Ferrari 🙏 really outdid themselves with those strategy calls, didn't they? 🙏

Total nightmare. Honestly, I spent most of the night hoping it was just some fever dream I had while sleeping through the chaos. 😱

🤣

Well, at least my old boss at Ford was decent enough to work for. 😍
