Please point out where i said Alonso was a psychic and could tell what laptime people was doing. Oh you cant, because your just coming out with s*** again. As stated clearly before, alonso analyses the data which the pitwall gives him, processes it with what he see's and feels on track. just like Lewis and Vettel do.iceman1 wrote:So why Alonso didn't pit in Malaysia to change his front wing when his team told him to stay out?mikhailv wrote:Isnt that what pit-car radio is for? You know, certain superior drivers like Alonso, Hamilton and vettel have a conversation and work things out in their own mind and tell the team what they are doing.iceman1 wrote:Oh yeah because he knows the position of his competitors and what laptimes are doing. It's the job of the pitwall engineers to put the right strategy for him.mikhailv wrote:I wouldnt sign Kimi. I always thought the guy was pretty equal to Alonso, but he just wont make his own decisions in the race. Instead of reading the track and believing in himself and his skills, he just follows what the team says. He suspects the last stop wasnt needed, he suspects a last stop was needed in silverstone but again being a yes man now just followed the team. Why doesnt he follow his own mind? I always thought he used to.
You can't do things from your own mind as you don't have the full picture
So how come he couldnt read the track then like Alonso, Vettel and Hamilton can? How come he cant just go and make his own decision to stay out? If he feels he can make the tyres work, he should follow what he thinks. Only he is behind the wheel, no point bemoaning the team constantly when all you do is follow them like a sheep. instead, he should take his own initiative and believe in himself. Make your own strategy and adapt yourself by getting the info given from the pitwall and how you feel in the car. Thats how Alonso won barcelona. Thats how Kimi wouldve won this GP too.
So Alonso won in Barcelona because he decided what to do? lol the strategy was simple: Just drive the maximum of the car. Actually Ferrari told him what to do, chose the best strategy for him. He just had to drive fast - do qualifying runs.
But yeah according to you, Alonso can drive and do everything alone
Why he didn't pit in Canada last year? he lost few places in the final few laps. Why he pitted early in Silversone 2012? he lost his place to Webber before 4 laps to go!
BTW, why he listened to what Stella told him in Abu Dhabi 2010? the most stupid strategy ever
Please let's keep this topic to talk about Kimi's future. You can open a new topic to talk about anything else.
He is a smarter driver who still relies on an incompetant pitwall instead of actually following and reading the raceJoey Zyla wrote:Kimi's a smarter driver now. He knows he can't win race after race on all-out pace, so why not just keep it consistent?
