I dont get it though, Alonso pitted on lap 1 thats why he is up the order as effectively he hasnt had a pitstop under race conditions where as everyone else was around lap 20-something. That means that Alonso will have to pit again putting him way down the order coz his tyres wont last 77 laps......or will they?

They said the prime tire will go 78 laps...

If Alonso's tyres last full race distance, they'll be spectacularly stuffed by the end

That's what I mean, sure they might last but how much slower will he be than other cars on tyres with 25 laps less...

how convenient :D it really depends on how they drive them - remember bahrain everyone was taking it easy not sure how the tyres would last and they all worked great. but if you push them they last less, alonso used up a fair bit getting past some of the backmarkers so i hope they hold together for him and he gets some points this afternoon. been a clever drive by ferrari there to put him back in contention.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
