Vettel losing almost a second a lap on tyres only 2/3 laps older. He's kinda been spanked hard today.

Alonso vs Kimi:

Guy who has been in the team and has it bent to his whims for 5 years vs Guy who is still re-adjusting.

Not rocket science really.

Don't think it's much of an excuse when both have had to learn the new cars from scratch. Kimi struggling with the braking is no excuse, if he's as skillful as some believe he should be able to adapt like the rest of the field.

Hard to see anyone else winning the title at the moment.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

The key part of my post I think is "Alonso has the team bent to his whims"

IE the majority of the focus.

The second car has traditionally never been given as much focus.

Give Kimi time, if he's still this far back in the second half of the season then we have issues.

Even so, how will that affect his ability to adapt to the same thing his teammate has to? It's not like his side of the garage is being left out of the loop or he's not being given aid with the car and how to get the most out of it.

Well, that wasn't overly exciting.

1hr 50min until the first BTCC race

Bonus enjoyment knowing I had the correct top 3 in the predictor. But after Rosberg got Alonso there was nothing to watch.
