Ain't no schmucks on the front row in wet qualifying. There can be schmuck cars, but not drivers. |

Boy Merc's gone from bad to worse, did they really need to give Lulu a win so bad that they sent George out on slicks? And WTF Aston, Seb should have been right up there in Q3. Oh well, ALL HAIL FRED!! |

ALONSO on the front row!!! I am very, very happy for Nando, and frankly, I'm not all that surprised by this. I don't think Alonso's pace has ever really dropped off, & he's one of the best drivers on a wet or variable circuit. This year he has dominated Ocon in non-race sessions - going significantly quicker than him in something like 80% of FP, Q, and Sprint sessions (including 23 of the last 26). He just had awful luck in the first 4 or 5 races of the season - with reliability, getting collected by Mick, an engine penalty, terrible SC luck, long pit stops, bad info from the team in Spain qualy, etc - so his pace dominance hasn't translated to WDC points. In Spain the team sent Nando into his final lap right behind Lando when they actually had several seconds to play with and create a gap. In that race, Alonso started P20 after taking a PU, 8 positions behind Ocon in P12. Alonso finished P9 to Ocon's P7, despite a 6s final pit stop for Alonso. In SA, Alonso retired 3 positions ahead of Ocon when his water pump seals exited the water pump and entered the engine. In Melbourne, looking at a probable top 6 result, he was shuffled from P4 back to P13 by the two SCs by Vettel and Max. Then his new left front medium tire grained badly and sent him further back. At Imola, Alonso retired ahead of Ocon due to sidepod damage from Mick spinning and collecting him. That's at least 4 of 7 race weekends where Alonso was significantly disadvantaged by incidents that were outside his control. I've been watching Fred's pace all weekend and he's been right near the top since the first green light on Friday. Just hope this translates to a good race. Knock on wood. I don't think he can pull off P1 or 2 in that car, but a top 5 would be very nice imho. |
