RB didnt even show off what RB19 can really do before 2023 ended. So they created a new design to distract everyone from spending more time on the floor.
Basically everyone are too focus on the Mercedes like design whereas the real killer is underneath the car. They just gotta crash into the RB in Monaco to get one lifted up and photographed in details for others to catch up.
hungary..where alonso hold lewis for like 10 laps in his alpine best example of his defending style
but to me i never agree a penalty is warrant, its not nice but its not like alonzo just stop and cause car behind to crash but its F1 its gonna be some silly controversial penalty
I think Lewis knew what sort of driver he was facing... playing it safe. I personally feel like it was borderline considering they need to leave a car's width when the pursuer got significantly alongside.
I'm referring to GR vs FA incident... Lewis complain about the same thing in AD23...
I'll be honest to say I will never see FA in the same light ever again after SG2008 blew up.

this very sums it all, to alonso its "art of racing" but not to FIA racing etiquette lol
You can only say this is an unfortunate incident.
1. The location Alonso decided to employ his tactic 2. GR inexperience with Alonso tactic 3. A crash occurred whereas neither Lewis nor Alonso crashed in AD23
LH44 should have been penalised for first lap incident. Everyone agrees except the stewards.
The funny thing is FA is keeping mum about his boss who turned into him rather than LH44. There's already contact between FA and LS before the incident with LH44.
MV in FP1,2,3 = setting is not right, no grip, rear is fxxked up
Mv in Quali = everything is just fine for Pole
Maybe they tried to run low downforce like ferrari... revert back to normal then all their problem gone. Let's see if they will struggle with tires wear tomorrow.
imola 2005 and turkey 2006..almost died watching the very tense battle
Back then they can follow much closer plus the car was smaller and lighter... in comparison, these day are a bit lacking... and the engine revving noise also missing...
