I think what some people forget about Alex is that before testing he had never driven an F1 car before and then half way (just over half way) through the season heâs put into an entirely new car with the Red Bull and has very little time to adjust really. And now heâs going into a part of the season where the tracks are all new to him so heâs having to learn his way around a new car and new tracks. It was interesting to hear after the race today he was saying that he still feels like heâs going into the weekend not really knowing anything and having to start again. (I think he said fp1 is sort of like starting again and then fp2, fp3 is where he starts improving through the weekend and then by the race heâs comfortable). So yeah, I havenât seen anything negative on here towards Alex but cut him some slack. Heâs in a new car going to new tracks.Â
