It was pretty obvious that all Alonso needed to do was be fast in the last corner and then not make a mistake at the first corner. T3 around the outside is always going to be difficult if the other driver is willing to compromise his line through it to the extent Alonso was.

Don't really need to discuss it further, feels more like people just wanting to "win " an argument
rather than accept the facts of what actually happened.

Even Ross Brawn said it was a masterclass and he did a great job and so did a lot of other people.
Most team principals congratulated Alonso for his great driving defence.

They all didn't "accept the facts of what actually happened."

Eh? I'm agreeing that Alonso did a stellar job not making any mistakes and being fast in exactly the places he needed to be. When he finally made a mistake, Hamilton overtook him.

My point was more than the people saying Hamilton should have breezed past are wrong.

Then I completely misunderstood/interpreted your message. My apology.

Exactly!

I think this goes back to the old "chicken and egg - which came first?" phenomenon.

You have people here shilling for HAM 24/7, calling him the greatest of all time, best in the business, best overtaker, most complete driver, etc., so of course that raises expectations to the same deluded level and then you get these kind of discussions.

It was great racing. Seeing ALO vs HAM made me feel like 2012 again and I loved it. ALO still got it, secures the win for his team. HAM got the job done, takes a podium and good points. VER gets damage reduction in form of a few points and HAM not taking the full 25pts. Happy end.

Nothing wrong with Ocon's post. He is doing well to praise Alonso. He needs to. If he doesn't Alonso will get jealous and turn on him later down. In fact just watch things turn sour from now as Alonso gets impatient with getting a similiar result.

Anyhow i see the game the trolls are playing.
End of the day Hamilton got P2. and F1 had a new winner. Perfect result for fans of the sport. The race was really good.
Max was almost lapped struggling to overtake half a Mclaren that lost 1 second a lap to damage.
So it's a really good job done by Mercedes to be ahead in both championships despite not having the most stellar first half in terms of operations, strategy, and speed of the car.
The drivers didnt drive their best, but were good enough to be up the front on the leaderboard.

The second half should be great.

Max is in front of his bathroom mirror telling himself he knows he is faster than Hamilton. Hamilton is living rent free in his cerebellum all season long. Let's see if Max's imagination is reality in the second half. He is exposing his lack of experiences and weakness of mind with these outbursts. He only adds more pressure to himself and attracts more badluck.

How has the experience of racing in 14 seasons playing out? WIth a rookie mistake in Imola, an "accidental" knock of "Brake Magic" in Baku, lack of awareness in a high speed turn taking a car out and almost ending his own race in Silverstone. Seems like luck has replaced experience there.

Seems like Lewis is living in your head rent free too? Everyone makes mistakes, they’re human beings. Even I made one once. (Tongue is firmly in cheek for the absence of doubt)

How about recognising Lewis’ achievements for what they are and accepting that Max may break those records in future. Or he may not. Either way we’re being treated to an epic season so far.

It was not easy to pass Alonso because of dirty air and there just was not enough difference with his tyres and Hamilton's to make the overtake straight forward.

He was 2.5 seconds per lap faster. He had better tyres and a much better car. He also had a stronger engine and more top speed. An overtake doesn’t get any easier than that.

And you'd be right of it weren't the Hungaroring or Monaco. Then add to that one driver is fighting for the title and the other is not.

Quite simple really. Like Alonso on Petrov all those years ago. One had a title at stake, the other had nothing.

Alonso was like 6-8 tenths faster than Petrov, not 2.5 seconds. He also didn’t have DRS.

Hamilton’s inability to overtake Alonso shocked everyone. Bono and Toto both assured Lewis on the radio that he could win the race, just before he caught Alonso.

The order in which you mention this, shows the level of ‘importance’ to you- stop trolling by stating a P2 by Hamilton is a perfect result for fans of the sport.

Max was almost lapped struggling to overtake half a Mclaren that lost 1 second a lap to damage.

So it's a really good job done by Mercedes to be ahead in both championships despite not having the most stellar first half in terms of operations, strategy, and speed of the car.

How did they get there? By crashing into the championship leader.

How sad..

Aye. Overtaking is so easy at the Hungaroring Latifi was able to run P3 for 15 laps…

With the timid Tsunoda behind him, really Tsunoda it's really getting to him, the guy has the speed but being compared to Gasly will be the fork in the road - and the media insinuates he is under pressure yet he is actually not bad, kinda like how Kvyat was not too bad in that seat as well. His radio after swapping with Gasly was quite...interesting to say the least, but people do like him because he has the outlook of a humble person from a noble background.

Kvyat would not have been overtaken by Hamilton like a F2 driver with only 1 sec pace difference.
