Alonso going rogue again - quite some bad blood between those two:
https://www.gpfans.com/en/f1-news/10...ses/?rt_feed=1 Alonso says Hamilton 'has weaknesses' that are now showing Stuart Hodge - Friday 31 March 2023 16:39 - Updated: 17:12 Fernando Alonso insists Lewis Hamilton "has weaknesses" that are showing as Mercedes struggle to compete at the top end of the pack in 2023. Alonso has finished on the podium in both of the opening races, behind the two Red Bulls, while Hamilton is in the midst of the longest win drought of his entire career. The seven-time world champion began his career as Alonso's team-mate at McLaren and overtook the Spaniard on his very first start to set up a fervent rivalry between the pair. In recent years, the rivalry thawed between the pair, but last year the frostiness reared its head again last year as Alonso called Hamilton "an idiot" after a collision at the Belgian Grand Prix before later apologising. Now, 41-year-old Alonso has been pointing at how his fellow grid veteran has been struggling now that the Mercedes machinery is no longer the best on the grid – with George Russell the only Silver Arrows to achieve a win last year and already having out-qualified Hamilton in both races so far this season. "With a normal car you can see that he has weaknesses," said Alonso. "Before, he was out alone ahead or sometimes with his team-mate. But look, he holds the record for poles and George is beating him 2-0 in qualifying this season. "He hasn't suddenly forgotten how to drive. It just goes to show how much the car is still a key factor in the performance. To win titles, you need the kind of dominant cars that Lewis has had." Alonso believes Hamilton was WRONG about Red Bull Despite Alonso's blistering start to the season, the Red Bulls have been untouchable with Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez trading wins over the opening couple of races. Hamilton remarked that the Red Bull car is "the fastest he's ever seen" but Alonso believes that's hyperbole. "I don't agree at all," said the Asturias native, in a tell-all interview with L'Equipe. "Last week I finished 20 seconds behind Checo (Sergio Perez) and Max (Verstappen). He and Rosberg were a minute behind the rest of the field in 2014 and 2015. "And on top of that, after slamming two or three fast laps, they would protect their engine and drop the performance. "He has a short memory, he's getting old."

Lewis has always been a false hero for weaklings. He's celebrating wins then becomes a victim when he isn't. The worst kind of person. |

Hammy's biggest weakness is George Russel.
He drives the same car for the same team, has the same resources and frequently scores better than Hammy. Last season Russel was clearly the better driver. And this year we can probably tell it's gonna be close. He doesn't need Hammy to start at P14 to finish above him My prediction for raceday: 1. Max 2. Checo 3. ALO 4. LEC 5. STR 6. RUS 7. SAI 8, HAM 9. BOT 10. GAS With all the speculating lets hope there's no crash between Max and Checo...... And lets hope that there's no mechanical problems for the teams. For Ferrari that's a big thing to ask...I know....

So Hamilton is complaining about the MERC this year. Fair enough as he's frustrated.
ALO was doing the same thing at McLaren but he got persecuted by some for doing that. WTH is Hamilton doing different than what ALO did with his situation at MCL a lot worse off than Hamilton now. I don't read anything in the press castigating Hamilton for moaning and complaining. Some sort of privilege going on or a bias against ALO?

Perez blocks Verstappen in 2023 by getting gravel trapped
he's been practicing this i must add, this is the 5th time in the same gravel trap today. he must think the team sabotaged his brakes. |

Great final lap by Verstappen, Russell and Hamilton. Quite a surprise how both Mercedes cars performed during the qualies.
The start battle VER-RUS and HAM-ALO will be interesting tomorrow.

Well looks like the wolf man was lying again, what a surprise saying the Merc will not be competitive, more sandbagging from Merc than I've had hot dinners and HAM running out of excuses as low salary earner Russel tags him for 2nd.

We will never know, but imagine for a moment a 2007 'young' Hamilton (instead of 2023 'old' Hamilton) competing with Russell at Mercedes.
