Tough to blame Lance for a terrible strategy call for Alonso, even without the 2nd safety car he probably finishes in the same position after they put him on softs.

Piastri did nothing for Lando getting P2. The "rear-gunner" hasn't really been a factor yet in 2024.

Great racing this weekend throughout the field. Shanghai is an awesome track. Saturday was one of the better sprint races I've seen.
It's not China GP specific. It's the overall performance. Alonso gets more put of the same car and has regularly spanked Stroll in points since coming onboard to AM.

I'm talking more about the fact the car is good enough for the 2nd driver to be finishing in point with far more regularity then what Stroll has provided.

It's either he's not good enough or bad luck has snakebitten him. AM is a good car. It needs a better driver.
