Guessing Alonso won't be in the Merc next year then...
Didn't George wipe out Bottas in quite a big way before joining Mercedes?InfamousK said:

I have just watched the video with telemetry, and i do not think this was a brake check.
I think this was Alonso braking early and setting the car up to turn in on throttle to get the best exit possible, which he’d need to do to stay ahead through DRS.
Finally someone with a bit of sense. I think this was Alonso braking early and setting the car up to turn in on throttle to get the best exit possible, which he’d need to do to stay ahead through DRS.

On the basis that double yellows means slow downs and be prepared to stop, no need for red flag.
Yep. Worked great for Jules Bianchi. https://youtu.be/CyZmmMiKxXU?si=1gbdgxj-pw0wtIuJ

I've not forgotten Alonso's past and had regarded his as a great driver and strategist whose talent was being wasted in uncompetitive cars, but that stunt at the last race has really put me off.
He's an impulsive person and that's almost certainly cost him multiple world championships by being in the wrong team at the wrong time. For me, it was a reckless and dangerous brake test by Alonso, and the data (plus all the BS on the radio afterwards about the throttle problem) shows it for what it was. I think the stewards bottled it and he needed a race ban at least.
