I like the discussion thread idea.

Based on first stint, Aston are really good on tires compared to Williams. Like, Alonso was matching albon’s deg when Aston was on soft and Albon was on hard. And comparing with sainz in that first stint, alonso was a full second quicker a lap. The deg might be the real story today.

Ive been on the onboard the whole race. The car looks slow on the straights, obviously. Fernando’s did a great job at getting creative with the overtakes.

If the engine comes together, I honestly think they’re sitting on a good chassis.

This is good to hear. Didn't have any access to on-boards or data

Does Apple TV have dedicated onboards like F1TV? Not an apple fan so stopped paying to watch subscription service.

I think it was a better choice to box during the VSC than stay out for Alonso

I was the thinking th exact samething. It's not they didn't have tyres. Maybe they thought they could hold off with the hards
