Dominant tyres, wich is arguable, are not the same as a dominant carJust_a_fan wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 7:14 pmHe had dominant tyres, of course. The tyre rule change from 2004 to 2005 outlawing tyre changes totally screwed Ferrari. That helped Alonso immensely. In 2006 he and the Renault were just better than everyone else, especially in the first half of the season. And they had the TMD in the nose that the car was built around and was outlawed in the latter half of 2006, which certainly didn't help Alonso.godlameroso wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 7:04 pmThe titles he doesn't have, make the ones he has all the more impressive, he's never won one in a dominant car.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 6:03 pm
Yes.
But for some better fortune, he'd have more titles under his belt, that's for sure.
But 2005 - 2008 were the years when no one had a dominant car. After the early 2000s that was a refreshing change.
I´d say that only finished Ferrari dominance, but didn´t provide any dominance to Renault, they were pretty similar, at some tracks Ferrari was faster, at some others it was Renault.
A dominant car is one wich finish 1-2 more or less consistently, something Renault never managed to do. Anyway this is way OT
