Love these kind of comparison videos dude, Nice work.

[@blenzo8344]

Stroll is slower in high speed because he's constantly losing lower gears to get rotation. Alonso is getting the rotation with higher gears which allows him to carry way more speed even though he's on lower downforce. Verdict is Alonso is driving with more front end and lower wing than Stroll is willing to do (most likely do to confidence and pure ability) and the lap times are showing every session

[@MyRealName]

Yes he's plainly slower than Alonso, but this is clearly an issue with setup. Too much downforce and the suspension wasn't set up to cope with it, the car is bumping all over the place in highspeed corners. And to top it off, the extra stiffness made it worse in slow corners as well. Yeah, Stroll isn't as fast generally, but that car wasn't set up well. Not easy to drive it like that and make no mistakes, especially when you're under pressure. It's easy to sit at home and just sh-t on somebody.

[@justincharles6585]

You're correct, you have to overdrive the car to make it perform. Just like last year when Sainz and Leclerc kept running off track at times, they had to over drive the car to be competitive. That's what casuals don't understand

[@lorenzorubino2195]

How can you see if the car is bottoming out from an onboard, with the audio coming from both sides? There is no major steering input differences other than driving style. Worse in slow speed corners base on what? The hairpin? Where Stroll braked earlier but clearly less compared to Alonso..

[@MyRealName]

@@lorenzorubino2195 Who mentioned bottoming out? Only you did. Worse in slow speed corners based on I have eyes and I can see and understand what I see. If you can't, your problem, don't go crazy here. The whole onboard from Stroll is shakier, and that's a fact. It's shakier because you have to make the car stiffer to take the extra downforce to avoid bottoming out and that's a compromise in itself. "Where Stroll braked earlier but clearly less compared to Alonso.." - lmfao :)

Honestly Stroll's lap is not bad. It's just that Alonso is still very quick and there're a lot of small things which he does better and that in the course of a lap add up to the final deficit. Kids in the comments saying Stroll is a bad driver have no idea how good someone like Alonso is.

A higher downforce rear wing doesn't affect the top speed as much in a DRS straight tho Given Alonso likes understeer it's quite possible that Lance ran a much higher front-wing.

[@zibingotaeam3716]

alonso has said in spanish media that he doesn't care for under- or oversteer - he'll drive it the way it is fastest the reason why the Renault cars he got WDCs in were so understeery is because it was the fastest way to get that particular car around the track

[@skela098]

You have a double world champion racing driver (who won titles against Schumacher), and just a very good racing driver (none of us writhing here would never be even close to Stroll's driving skills, just because he is in racing for 20 years, with unlimited budget), so what is exactly unusual or weird?

Looks like Stroll's setup was bad too though. I can see lots of understeer. To me this looks like they've chucked on a whole load of downforce at the rear without matching it at the front. Then of course there's the obvious skill gap, but I can definitely see an Understeering Aston on the left.

Alonso was 0.220 sec faster on average in qualifying and out-qualified Ocon. 15-7 was the fastest lap for Alo in the race, while the race result was 8-8. The issue was that Fernando had several key mechanical failures where he lost 30-40 points relative to Ocon, and almost every time such retirement occurred, he was supposed to gain good points and was in front of Ocon. If just 1/4 of those unlucky retirements didn't happen, he would have more points than Ocon at the end of the season. Simply put, those two do not fit into the same sentence.

Just curious, why did you blur the video on the back straight? Did some Alonso groupies flash their boobs there or something? 😂 Great video as always mate, keep it up!

I think the main reason is that Alonso has done more miles in an F1 car than most people have in their road cars. And Stroll has a rich daddy.

running a high down force in Suzuka is a dangerous game when you didn't have a natural talent navigating high-speed corner with a little lift and gas like Charles lecrerc

Alonso Sainz would be such a good 2025 pair.

Only I am seeing, that stroll sometimes have brake and throttle applied on the same time?
