  • Monaco 2023 DOD

    From geoff@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 29 10:38:25 2023
    Full credit to OCO as DOD, and Apline for his third place. HAM was
    unable to pinch the place, even in the wet which (being a pom) is his forte.

    Credit of course to VER for extending his stint in the wet on slicks
    before switching to inters, which sealed it for him.

    And ALO for being where he was at the start, and staying there despite
    the unfortunate strategy call.

    Yup. Hard go wrong with any of those choices.

    Alonso - great recovery for what could have been a disasters tire change.

    Except it wasn't a great recovery.

    He had sufficient gap, and that's what made it possible.

    Ocon - for dragging that Alpine onto the podium ahead of quite a few 'faster' cars / drivers.
