no ?
neon bough
Alpine was indeed throwing out slow results basically on purpose for short runs, the word is that their long run pace was still good.
What's the point of throwing so hard? Who knows, they're not going to suddenly beat Red Bull either way.
compact smelt
no ?
Yea. Bandwagons. Hate the team when they are bad and call for Lawrence to sell the team. Now suddenly everyone is an AM/Alonso fan.
neon bough
Alonso is just too hard to ignore at this point, his sudden dramatic team moves, his peaks in whatever car might be under him over such a long career. I'm really curious how far he can push himself with yet another team at such an age.
Ocon was mostly kinda meh alongside him, except for that one day with a win, which Fernando still made more about himself with that defense which was talked about for much longer. Who knows where Alonso could've been if Alpine didn't give up on him so often.
The team itself...it's only natural that people get hyped up for such a big swing up the order being possible, cause that's exactly what this era of regulations is supposed to be about. Big changes, hopefully making the field overall more competitive by having less and less slower cars.
compact smelt
Yea thatās fine and all. I can understand supporting Alonso. I just feel as though the team got unwarranted hate for not being better last few seasons.
But teams like McLaren are always loved despite their lacklustre performances across so many seasons and with huge investment.

You know how pepegas work, they thought that money should've instantly fixed ex-ForceIndia.

neon bough
By continuing to create these micro pockets noone cares about they're not going to be even close to achieving woman representation in F1.
If they were REALLY serious about it the money would be spent in a more similar manner to F1 team's academies, where talent sometimes gets picked and supported very early. And with that the goal shouldn't be looting some women-separate series, but instead just doing the normal junior racing routine. Instead we're seeing another likely useless series created, where it's a struggle to actually fill up the amount of cars they desire.
Wow W series, so much progress, amazing...your supposed biggest talent is just sitting there, multiplying your own titles. Cba with these PR-stunts.

If this was half-season with AM actually challenging for title that would be the time for takes like that.
compact smelt
But seeing comments about Alonsoās third WDC is only setting themselves up for disappointment
neon bough
Anything better than P6 would be massive for AM.
compact smelt
It may be a strong start but starting to move facilities mid season is going to mean keeping development and pace throughout entire season is going to be majorly difficult. AM also just doesnāt have the same facilities as the big 3 yet.

I'd time the move with the moment when they can't produce much anyways.
Surely with the cost cap and season progressing there's a moment when the focus has to be on 24, and right before that would be a good time to move.

I feel like they could afford it with the recent popularity of the sport, but overall dumb to lose him over some earrings and a nose piercing.

It would be a major controversy, way bigger than any F1 had in last few years.
Of course they could try to spin it in their favor, insisting on rules being there not for the first day, but at the same time there were many years when this was non-issue and there would be countless references to that and other things. Maybe that shit would even end up in court.
