It's strange he's having a go at Hamilton. He's not exactly squeaky clean. He ended up in the hospital instead of on the podium (Brazil 2003) after ignoring double waved yellows and driving at full speed into a tyre in the middle of the track. Oh, and there's always having a teammate deliberately crash for him...

Easy to be frustrated in the helmet, however I think he's got a point. In a day and age when we barely race now when there's a bit of rain, circulating around the track for a couple of laps with no brakes seems an odd thing to be doing.
 
Gave up watching after the first round of pit stops, what a waste of time circuit, more fun watching paint dry. Why do they keep wanting to introduce more of these street circuits when all they produce are an absolute borefest.

Thing is if that had happened to Alonso he would have done exactly the same, he's only moaning to try and get another position. All a bit pathetic really from someone with his history.

Alonso's post race radio is..... interesting...

Alonso - ****ing hell man. I cannot believe it.

Pit - Yeah, he knew it.

Alonso - I cannot ****ing believe it. I cannot ****ing believe it! I mean I cannot ****ing believe it. I cannot ****ing believe it. Is it safe to drive with no brakes? Or he should...

I dont think he believes it.
 
5s penalty for "leaving the track without justifiable reason multiple times". Drops to P8 behind Alonso but could be worse. Shame he couldn't get up to 5th as I reckon he had it in the bag before the failure.

F1 is about money not about racing, has been for quite a few years now..

I think I watched about 12 mns of this entire race, the rest was fast forward... not sure how you fix F1, but it's pretty broken at the moment on quite a lot of tracks, it's either can't overtake (track reasons).. or managing tyres.. :(

The most exciting session is qualifying, when you know the drivers are actually driving as fast as they can for a few laps..

Was it the Qatar race when Pirelli warned teams the tyres wouldn’t cope so mandated what laps they had to pit, I seem to recall it was a fab race as there was no tyre management, every driver going 100% etc.

Qatar 2023 was mandated max XX laps or something on a tyre.. so that meant a min 3 stops.. and yes.. stopped all the tyre management..

Dire race, and even worse TV direction. Completely missed the Antonelli/Lecelerc/Hamilton overtakes, and focussed on randoms in the crowd and garage as the leader crossed the line, leaving everyone to stare at the timing tower to see if Hamilton would get to the line before Alonso. One of the closest finishes and they completely ignored it. Absolute imbeciles.
 
Possibly expected a touch more from the race, shame that basically get within that 1sec window and its near impossible to do anything

Pit - No, no. We are looking into it, we agree. We're checking track limits as well. We see some margin there. Run switch warmup mate, run switch warmup. That is P8 anyway, so good recovery.

Alonso - It should be ****ing P7 and you cannot drive.

Pit - It may well be

Alonso - Think you're alone on track. I mean, no respect the red flag yesterday, today, free track for them. Maybe too much.

Pit - Run switch warmup. Run switch warmup and MFP Blue Override position 12. MFP Blue Override position 12

Pit - Hamilton has over strikes over four of track limits anyway. Dunno it's the brake issues, but just... for now.

Alonso - Yeah. 5 second minimum.

Pit - Yeah. So at least we did our best there. P8. Sorry we made it difficult for you.

Alonso - For me you cannot drive when the car isn't safe you know. Sometimes they try to disqualify me for no mirror and no he have no brakes and everything is fine? I doubt it.

Pit - His last 2 laps were 2:09 and 1:47

Alonso has always been a *******.
 
I really struggled to keep attention during this race, once the first laps were over and the field was spread that was it.

Really didn't help that the TV direction was particularly poor this race either.

Will the 2026 rules be better for racing? We can only hope.
