Saying the car is good enough for the top 10 is also shocking. Not long ago Alonso was in the hunt for podiums, not picking up 1 maybe 2 points if things went their way. And now with the engine issues they are basically saying they are out of the fight for points?

I wonder if Alonso will even finish out the season then. If it’s another Honda engine struggle year, picking up a scrap point here or there. By the time they get it all sorted, he will surely be too old to be competitive at the top? On the other hand, he might surprise us by showing he can still show the kids how it’s done.

Alonso is embarrassing himself in thinking he can win a 3rd title because he managed to beat a nepo baby. There’s a reason the top teams aren’t even looking his way.

You could say a similar thing about Williams. Clearly both of these teams can’t escape the midfield with their current resources. And Lawrence has already invested a lot - but compared with the abilities of the top teams, it’s still nothing. And in my personal opinion, an unstable personnel situation could be part of the problem.
