Even if they'd tune up the car somehow it would be still done, cause Alonso would have to 1v2 more often than not, with Ferrari and Mercedes mixed in with up to 4 extra drivers depending on the track to make it harder too, while McLaren got the edge on all of them in a few recent races.
McLaren need pretty tragic blunders to not get it.

The track is made in such a way that you have to absolutely push it to the line, and it's really hard to judge out the car.
Even from cameras slightly above that we get to see it's hard to judge and we need to see cameras outside the car to really know.
And then on top of it to "police" it all they got curbs that straight up damage the tires and did kill some cars in the past too, amazing track.

At least you have the chance to decide where you get your energy from to run this process. Yes, with energy from a coal plant the whole idea is pointless. But when green energy is used it is pretty close to a closed circle. Well one could still argue regarding the emissions and recourses to build said green power sources, but still itās a step towards a better direction. On the other hand, as you pointed out, EVs always have that questionable recourse problem and on top of that could be also powered by energy from some good old fossil energy sourcesā¦
