Yep, that sound about right. Doesn't Alonso like quite an understeery car? Compared to the oversteery tailsliders of Hamilton, Kimi and Vettel? On that note take a look at Martin Brundle's F1 driving styles video :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOhgI1hQA68 |

Don't know what Alonso's preference is nowadays - he has been driving very differently from his Renault years for a while, probably since the end of traction control but maybe even earlier. He clearly doesn't mind a little bit of corner exit oversteer; when he's going for it, you fairly often see the rear of his car step out quite violently on exit. |

Briatore ruined Lehto's F1 career, which is a shame because he had a lot of potential. But that's probably a subject for another topic. |

What we do know is that he was very very quick in the end of '93 test and did amazingly well at Imola and Catalunya in qualy so the talent as there even when nursing a bad injury. If you want to see him in full flow chucking a car about, check out the Bologna motorshow stuff on youtube from the end of 1992! |

No, he does prefer more understeer to oversteer as he turns in hard/violently. The Ferrari is still an understeerer, although less than the 05/06 Renault. He also seems to use quite a slow rack to give more lock-to-lock. Unlike someone such as Button though, Alonso is able to drive a car with oversteer.

One trait or the other is definitely something that a driver would want, although in moderation. I prefer lots of oversteer, whilst others prefer some oversteer, or some understeer etc. If the car is completely neutral, it could suggest it is not being driver near, or at, the limit of its grip. |
