That move by Fernando Alonso was a master overtake.

As for Hamilton - I don't know what to think. He chases the 8th world championship to retire undisputed, that's clear. The only way to achieve that, until 2026 new regulations, is a move to Red Bull.:lol: That'd be a coup, a total betrayal to Verstappen.

Clearly not the only way
Just needs Merc to buck up their ideas, hardly impossible
Could technically try McLaren but they wont take that baggage on

Merc, Ferrari and McLaren are behind Red Bull in car development. If that's the case I don't see any upsets until 2026. If we consider Red Bull car is just as good as the rest and they are winning constructor's due to their ultimate driver, Max Verstappen, that's even more bad news for Lewis Hamilton.

It make you think the fact that, while the other teams still have brought big and small updates to the cars, Red Bull stopped development of the current car for the end of July (focusing solely on the 2024 car).... and despite this they (Verstappen) are still way ahead.

Verstappen won like 19 of the 22 races this past season? :lol:

Complete joke this sport has become.
It's been that way since the new era of hybrid engines was introduced in 2014. A single team and driver dominating after every major regulation change.

Car development have been very restricted and those ahead in the game will likely remain ahead of the game.

True, it’s always been an engineering competition firstly.

Once a team nails a concept, the others play catch up until a reg change.

What you do need though is a great driver in combination with a great car.

Max is the best driver on the grid, who lives and breathes racing. He’s also been given the best car and now it’s curtains for the rest.
