    I was watching onboards and lap times and Alonso was gapping Stroll

    To be fair, stroll was on wets on a drying track so that was not such a big achievement. Yes he would have finished ahead of stroll, but I don’t think he would have finished ahead of kimi or albon

      Stroll was never on full wets as far as I know. They were both on old Inters at the time. It’s true he was probably using his tires more than Kimi to hold him off, but we don’t know for sure. Kimi himself seemed to be falling off in pace and struggling to catch up to Alonso so I think he was burning through his tyres as well. Of course the safety car that enabled Stroll to get 6th was caused by Alonso so I should revise my previous statement anyway since he’s not getting there without a SC.

        Yeah I just checked. Stroll was on the wets during the first formation lap (the one where Hadjar crashed). They changed it before the next start and stroll was never shown again so I thought he was still on wets. My bad
