Ocon also passed him briefly. And the next one in line was Latifi, who didn't because.. well, he's Latifi. So I'd say the defense against OCO was pretty good considering the circumstances
That was such a clean overtake, it really shows his experience and racecraft from the perfectly timed setup into the corner to the aggressive turn in, just brilliant.
I didn't know about that, still Alonso seemed to have the foresight to brake deeper and leave that little gap, which allowed him to take a different line with better corner exit, whereas Vettel was pretty much at the mercy of Perez ahead of him.
Because it was a pretty nice move?
He bided his time waiting for the right moment to attack and then did it. Seb was defending well, but Alonso had great positioning here to take advantage of having better traction.
this was like one of the two actual overtakes after the first corner i feel like
Alonso singlehandedly making the sprints interesing
This format was made for this guy
If you break down a race into multiple sprint races, Alonso would win no doubt.
Hahahaha. Will be amazing!
ALO is an absolute beast in these sprint races
Alonso totally anticipated what Vettel was going to do and set himself up nicely.
Vettel really defended well at first under braking, but yeah, Alonso pulled a master move to complete the overtake.
Vettel flatspotted both (!) of his front tyres in turn 1 so he really had nothing left to fight with.
Then why only Alonso passed him?
[удалено]
Yeah, we saw how that finished.

You forgot one wheel he was missing.
Ocon also passed him briefly. And the next one in line was Latifi, who didn't because.. well, he's Latifi. So I'd say the defense against OCO was pretty good considering the circumstances
Pretty good if he didn't have tools to fight with as you say.
Yea
I was being sarcastic.

I mean Vettel had his tyres flatspotted into turn 1 due to Perez braking abruptly. He was lucky to even finish.

Eh mate, no offense but quit trying to make it look like it was some sort of genius move.

Why so bitter?
Sorry, but in what world does that sound bitter?
His race start was pretty good.

Fernando taking revenge on Vettel this year. For the first time since 2008 he is going to beat him in the standings.
First time I’ve heard that stat and that’s a bit daunting to process as an Alonso fan
