Honestly even considering Aston's drop off, Alonso has been consistently in Q3 while Stroll has been consistently out in Q1 or in the wall. Monaco and Singapore were just awful

This showcases the importance that the application of the concept of "slow-in, fast-out" on corners is.

[@55marpo]

it's obvious from the graphic that Lance Stroll is just suffering from Alonso's dirty air.

Ikr, that alonso guy even brake checks stroll to throw him off line! 😡

Lol. You just made me laugh. Best comment I've read in a while😅

[@darraghsmith3226]

Strolls throttle application is a major reason he is failing if you watch Fernando it is almost seamless but for stroll it’s so blunt and treacherous we saw at Singapore coming out of the penultimate corner before his crash he had a massive slide because of it

[@slartibartfast2649]

Ahhh so he's failing because he can't use a throttle. Minor issue, He'll grow out of it.

[@isolator86]

Alonso outperforms his car, always did, always will. Simple as that.

[@LewisHamiltonMSPR]

I see this phrase a lot and it kind of bugs me seeing it so much, maybe I'm just pedantic. No such thing as outperforming a car, only underperforming it's maximum potential can exist.

[@55marpo]

You literally physically can't outperform your car.

[@ihsanjayadi88]

Alonso is good, but the phrase "outperforming" is nonsense if you have any semblance of wheel knowledge at all. It's easy to get sucked by hype when logic is lacking. Try to be better, and appreciate him for what he is while also acknowledging the guys that built the car.

[@alexandruilea6471]

If Alonso can get very good placement in the Aston Martin, imagine if he was in the Ferrari, could compete for the championship. It's all in the driver.

[@ZAH33D]

@@alexandruilea6471 Not by a longshot. Leclerc is better by far.

[@bullymaguire14]

Even though considering Alonso's quali pace isn't his major asset ,him getting in Q3 everytime is super with out developed amr but for Lance it's ridiculous. Hoping for a 100% Q3 rate this season.

[@Rubii]

Unfortunately it ended in Austin 😢

[@f1_onboardsAC]

It's not his biggest strength, but not because he's a bad qualifier. He's super strong and consistent in quali. He outqualified every teammate excepting Lewis (10-7), who is arguably a top3 ever in that aspect.

[@zng8556]

These 3d animations are so cool! how do you collect the exact data?

[@TurboIntercooler92]

I was this video and felt like something was missing and it was the slow motion and more detailed description of how differently both drivers approach each corner. Instead I’ve slowed down the video to 0.25’sec what allowed me to finally notice what I was after, but was you can guess I’ve also had to mute the video. If you add that one more detail that would be greatly appreciated since you’re the only channel which offers such great animations. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the next videos

[@Zipzapzak10]

Love it man, keep it up! Btw, I think stroll is just a skill issue

[@81astri]

[@thelearningmachine_]

yep, in Barcelona Stroll always went full throttle on the last corner like any videogame player would do, and Alonso said full throttle was not the best, which is counter intuitive, but lift a little bit would give less tyre deg/overheat.

[@LewisHamiltonMSPR]

@@thelearningmachine_ It also can provide a better and shorter angle around the corner, so less distance to cover.

[@firstnamelastname8217]

Stroll has been diagnosed by rocket powered mohawk, nuff said.

[@michaelwilkie35]

Not entirely defending Stroll but 1-lap qualifying pace has been well known to be his biggest issue, (other then the rare but catastrophic crash/accident). He does very well on Sundays but like Perez gives himself too much extra work to do from bad Saturdays.

[@Josezinhosinatra]

Would be very interesting to show the "ideal racing line" as reference. Maybe the line from the fastest lap, or averaging multiple racing lines from specific drivers?

[@darkknightsds]

Like it better with just the music

[@iyerviking]

Because Alonso is a once in a lifetime driver and Stroll has a rich daddy.

[@michaelberube5236]

It's very funny to me that Stroll's best weekends of the year came directly after his wrist surgery when he came back early.

[@gopr3117]

The difference at the hairpin was massive. Alonso hit a much later apex

[@best___0999]

Honestly idk who is underperforming more compare to their team mate stroll or Perez

[@anameyoucantremember]

Stroll, in every aspect

[@quentinhirschfeld9382]

Stroll's main problem are his inputs from mid corner onward, totally out of touch with what the car is doing, which is quite frankly surprising given he worked with Rob Wilson. Hope he gets dropped at the end of the season if he continues like this, 7 years of F1 for him is too much.

[@sdraid]

Don't forget this guy got pole on ice in Turkey. He was many times on podiums in Baku. He knows how to drive, but he seems like not interested in racing anymore. His heart is somewhere else.

[@quentinhirschfeld9382]

His pole in Turkey is literally his only moment of true brilliant in his F1 career. Podium in Baku (which eh did only once, not multiple times) was due to pure luck, was behind his teammate before he had a mechanical failure.

[@Ellipsis115]

0:40 This is half a seconds difference in 1 corner - this is the difference between short corner "v-ing the corners" vs long corner "u-ing" the corners. They will both be trail braking I'm sure but it's clear 1 driver is concerned about getting the most of all 4 tyres by by slowing the car and turning, not so much about carrying speed where as Lance is throwing it into the corner.

Im interested to see Vettel vs Stroll in 2021 Qatar Quali. Vettel beat Stroll by like 0.3s. Would like to know if it was due to Stroll being better that year or Alonso being better than Vettel

[@kakmaster6945]

I think Alonso has always been better than Vettel but he wouldn't realistically be one second faster a lap, I think its more down to Stroll being much more demotivated than when he was with Vettel but in a way that is still Alonso's doing as beating Stroll by such huge margins has facilitated him beating him by even larger margins.

[@CKTechTV]

Alonso is better than Vettel.

[@rar5617]

Alonso is indeed better than Vettel, the fact that he barely lost to him in the championship in 2010 and 2012 with an inferior car tells you all you need to know.

maybe a personal preference of mine but id rather not have someone talking

[@DJSmith575]

ALO has better apex selection relative to the upcoming straights likely from being able to rotate the car with the rear or the front when appropriate.

[@russianmegabot5272]

Amazing simular to verstappen and Perez. These Cars needs to Put gently in the Corner for the perfekt exit. Simple, but hard to adapt it seems

[@sultanabran1]

what i see is alonso apex later than stroll and coming out of the corner straighter while lance is wider and is still turning at the exit instead of being on the throttle like alonso is.

[@j.s.p]

Stroll seems like he misses the apex the most of the time.

[@maliklowry1236]

Stroll is a normal racer, not great of course. He has some podiums ond one great pole. I think he is able to be not hated for father's money support, because F1 saw a lot of absolutely awful payed drivers who was mile away slower then Lance. Hope, he will win the race or have some another podiums before retirement
