@switchbacker the other drivers were beaten by their team mates more than Alonso was…

@switchbacker

McLaren strategists make strategy calls right?

Not always, Button often makes the calls regarding say, the weather, and he tends to get it right. Look at Brazil for example.

What racing […]

@switchbacker at the beginning of the season.. when he could put the car on pole but couldnt convert them to victories.

Could also mention that when Alonso’s car wasn’t at its best he still put in some […]

@switchbacker
Assuming you mean Austin, how do you know that the McLaren was the slower car that weekend? It could just as well have been that Vettel got more out of his car, as it could be the other way around. […]

I think its amazing that you could think Alonso was in on that @switchbacker . The team did that to persuade Alonso to resign and by letting him in on the conspiracy would have made it a completely pointless […]

@switchbacker, it certainly stinks but remember that the desperation at the route of this ploy was said to be a clause in Alonsos’ contract that Renault supply him a car capable of winning races, in this I see the […]

@switchbacker Of course I have preferences. Everyone does. Opinion pieces are the correct place to express those preferences and that’s what I do.

@switchbacker Regarding Spa my point was that Hamilton should not have been in seventh on the grid in a car that was capable of qualifying on pole position. The same cannot be said of Alonso.

@switchbacker

I agree, one second place in Australia splitting the faster McLarens, one potential fourth (and maybe even a third place as he was catching Hamilton) in Malaysia, victory and a championship lead […]

@switchbacker Have you analyzed on board footage yourself? If so, please mention three q3 sessions where he “missed apexes” (all apexes? one apex? two apexes?) and still got pole or front row. I would like to see […]

Though we do have to remember @switchbacker that operational errors (though mostly slow pitstops and weird strategy, some missed wheels featured too last year didn’t they?) were the reason McLaren got Sam Michael […]

@switchbacker

Its been tough to watch Lewis talent being wasted

McLaren certainly screwed up earlier this year with all manner of mistakes in the pits.

But it’s not all on them. Hamilton did a perfectly […]

@switchbacker It honestly feels like a lose-lose situation right now. Mclaren have let go the best driver they have had since Senna, and Lewis has left a top notch team for a team that is more likely to struggle than succeed.

@switchbacker here’s the onboard video:

@switchbacker i didnt say his suspension was gone, i said that immediately after he lost control of the back end of the car, his front wheels got up in the air because they encountered Grosjean’s car. You can see […]
