Image 1 — Why doesn't Fernando Alonso use 8th gear in Sector 1, unlike the others?

Why doesn't Fernando Alonso use 8th gear in Sector 1, unlike the others?

I was just analyzing Free Practice 1 and 2, and it was clear that he’s losing out on speed compared to the Cadillac. He uses 7th gear instead of 8th on the run-up to Turn 1, whereas others use 8th. Because of this, he loses 11 km/h compared to Perez.

He’s also the only one taking Turn 12 in 4th gear.

Is this down to the engine, or will we see something different in qualifying?

Or maybe Aston Martin is hiding their true pace?

This is my first RB19 model, a gift from friends. Please don't judge it too harshly.

What are Aston Martin's prospects at the Hungarian Grand Prix with their car upgrades?

Aston Martin promises to bring a major upgrade package to Hungary, but how significantly will it affect their race prospects—or is there simply no saving the situation now?

Will the new chassis help them?

I hope they’ll be able to fight for points.

It’s really sad to look at the Aston Martin car and see how far behind they are—even trailing Cadillac.
