The only way to enforce track limits is more street races like Monaco. Run to wide or tight and probably in the will will broken suspension.He is a good driver, past his prime for F1. He just has to go and do something else. There is a lot of young talent putting pressure on him.
Yeapthey delayed the new cars for 2022 right?
I don't know about that. I saw a graphic comparing the current Ferrari to last years after the qualifying session. It was losing massive chunks of time on the straights, and that's comparing it to last years Ferrari, not the Merc. They weren't making it back in the corners either.While the Ferrari trails both Merc, RB, RP and McL, I have my doubts whether the Ferrari really is slower than the McLarens in race trim.
Wasn't Ferrari cheating last year? Now that they can't cheat, the car is slow?I don't know about that. I saw a graphic comparing the current Ferrari to last years after the qualifying session.

It's very slow in a straight line which makes it a sitting duck for any car with a Mercedes engine in the back. It will be interesting to see how it does at a track like Silverstone.
I think Charles is very talented, and that talent enabled him to take advantage of the situation when an opportunity arose, but luck played a very large part in he's final position. Once they get to tracks with long straights it looks like the Ferrari will be in a lot of trouble.
Yup. Unless they have a new engine coming out this year I don't see how they can make up the difference.Wasn't Ferrari cheating last year? Now that they can't cheat, the car is slow?

He can do that with gentlemen racers but he can't qualify in the top 33 at Indy. Alonso will struggle in a modern F1 car.
After Alonso did not show any speed in the McLaren last year they should have put an experienced Indycar driver in the car to put it in the show. Anyone can take a great car and run at the front.His failure to qualify last year was much more due to McLaren's arrogance than his own driving. McLaren thought they could just show up at Indy and do well. When given a good car, Alonso led the race in 2018 and could very well have won if not for engine failure.
Agreed - ENTIRELY due to McLaren last year - The car was undrivable in qualifying, something to do with a completely wrong setup on the car, as well as other things that had just not been prepared properly. They were rightly embarrassed about it, but it did not allow Alonso (or probably anyone else) to have driven it quick enough to qualify.His failure to qualify last year was much more due to McLaren's arrogance than his own driving.

Haha, Now I think you're just fishing for a reaction, so that's me out.After Alonso did not show any speed in the McLaren last year they should have put an experienced Indycar driver in the car to put it in the show. Anyone can take a great car and run at the front.
Sorry Keith. I am partially serious. Most likely they would not have qualified regardless however an experienced driver at Indy may have been able to provide direction how to get the setup sorted our quickly.

alonso beat all his teammates
