Yes I think Alpine's problem is going to be that Milesi is the only one who can max out the car's potential in the race. The other 2 drivers will give up laptime compared to how fast the car actually is. Their best chance is to give Milesi the most drive time, like they did in COTA.

They already had incidents during the first lap. Best they can do is let Milesi do the start. Since CoTA it seems they dont put their eggs in the same basket which is a good thing imo. Surely Milesi is slightly faster, more consistent and very good at bringing feed back, but he's not alone in the team.

WEC 2024: Round 7 - 6 Hours of Fuji
Continuing the can the Caddy keep a good pace for a stint. It's looking OK.
The averages are good and it did a decent stint in FP2. This chart shows all the running (in order) so far. blue lines are end of sessions, grey lines are when they pitted. You can see some of the difference in approaches through practice. A lot of teams went for a qualifying run at the beginning of FP2. Alpine #35 went for this at the beginning of FP3. Some did both. Some went for a long stint, like the BMW and Cadillac shown here. I don’t know if they did, but it looks like Toyota might have done pit stops and changed, but kept the same tyres on in FP2, Last edited by Adam43; 14 Sep 2024 at 21:46. |

The last race Caddy struggled on the start and lost a few places (and got hit) but if they can have warm tires and ready to go on the start they may be able to hold on.

Estre says that the #6 “on long runs we are ok”. https://www.dailysportscar.com/2024/...ock-notes.html
They’ve had less laps in the 1:31s compared to others, but practice is practice so I take his word for it. |

This race might be even better than COTA.

Kubica hit the 5, another disaster for Mako & others after 2023.

Oh look, Kubica causing another accident. What a surprise.

I doubt it. The penalties, the yellows, the ridiculous BoP, the facial expression of Buemi, the awful colour schemes, the rich amateur drivers, the driver standards, F1, hourly recaps mean it will be dreadful.
Bring it on. 4 minutes in and it is a massive failure. |

Kubica effectively took out 3 cars. Gotta be a harsh penalty.

It'll certainly set a precedent if 83 doesn't receive a penalty...

I mean, buemi got a penalty and points for a lot less, so I expect the 83 to get a big penalty.

#7 was fun at the start. Just trying round the outside at every corner!

Anyone remembers what Bamber got for Bahrain start last year? Similar situation, lockup + contact.
