If it were, they wouldn't be sitting at 3rd in terms of pace on this track. 🙂 And no, I don't think Red Bull Racing is a bad car—it's just that Webber and Vettel are being a bit clumsy, and their race strategy is even worse. 😍
Did I ever actually say I was trying to justify Alonso's mistakes? I'm talking about the errors themselves, but even if the car is great—which, let's be honest, it isn't exactly 😉—it should be in the same league as the top tier (Red Bull Racing and McLaren Racing), which we can clearly see it isn't. ☕
I just don't get why you aren't analyzing why Dedonja drove so poorly today. No, you're just obsessed with Alonso. We'll see how the car behaves tomorrow, whether Alonso slips up again, and who actually had it right.
Who says any car is perfect?🙄 If you look at the big picture, they’re actually looking better than Red Bull Racing. They're more reliable and way gentler on the tires, even if they struggle a bit during the Third Qualifying Session or fall slightly behind during the race. It's not perfect, obviously, but let's be real—they aren't exactly lagging behind Red Bull Racing and McLaren Racing either. All three teams are basically neck-and-neck most of the time. Sure, Red Bull Racing has a massive edge in qualifying, but when it comes to the actual race, that gap disappears. And hey, don't act like everyone else is perfect; their strategy calls and qualifying runs are far from flawless too.
Ask the crew over at McLaren. They know exactly how to capitalize on Red Bull Racing's mistakes. Alonso just can't pull it off—that's his own damn problem, not an issue with the car.
If you think Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber are total clowns, then what exactly does that make Fernando Alonso?
Alonso’s making more mistakes than Sebastian Vettel this season. His car is clearly slower, sure, but at least it actually finishes races—unlike Vettel's.
Why on earth am I even bothering to comment on Grandfather? This season, he’s been so bad that "bad" doesn't even cover it. He's performing worse than Karun Chandhok, Jarno Trulli, or Heikki Kovalainen. Honestly, I don't see the point in beating him down while he's already face-planting on the floor. 🤷
Ferrari’s got a decent car, but their lineup is easily the worst of the top three. Honestly, looking at the top four, they might even be the weakest link there, though I'd probably put them right up there with Mercedes.
They’ve got a solid car. Honestly, they have a machine that handles tires better than anyone else on the grid—they could practically run an entire race on a single set, while everyone else is struggling just to make it through two. Sometimes the rest of the pack can't even manage that. The car is fast, too; they can hang with the best and actually put them under pressure out on the track.
When it comes to development, they’ve got Mr. Six-Tenths. They have the most money, the deepest history, and more experience than anyone else. Honestly, what kid could possibly mess that up?
You’re being totally contradictory. How was Alonso supposed to overtake Sebastian Vettel in that first race regardless of the technical issues on Vettel's car? That’s what Alonso fans are claiming—and honestly, I think you're leaning that way too. But now, suddenly, that exact same car is complete junk.🤷 How exactly are you supposed to keep pace with the leaders if you can't even stay on their tail? And seriously, how does a bad car end up sitting in 5th or 6th place in Monaco? If that's your definition of a "bad car," then your standards are somewhere in the gutter.🤣
Look, let’s be real: Alonso absolutely trashed his chances in a race where he had a dominant car. I mean, it was ridiculously dominant. If it wasn't for that one massive mistake of his, he’d probably be leading the championship right now. But hey, instead, we're stuck talking about how bad the car was. 😉
So, Alonso keeps whining about the car's development, but honestly, give me a break. Just look at where Massa ended up compared to where Grandfather, Rosberg, Kubica, Button, and even Sutil finished. Those guys were consistently either ahead of him or right on his tail. It’s not just about having a bad car.
Based on how things are looking, Ferrari's car at this track should be fast enough to land at least one, if not both, drivers on the podium. Instead, they couldn't even crack the top three in qualifying. They’re definitely supposed to be faster than McLaren Racing, so this is a massive fail on their part.
