Fernando Alonso warns of F1 power drop below F2 levels at Belgian GP

Spa-Francorchamps punishes energy management harder than almost any other circuit, and Alonso is flagging that the deployment rules could leave cars genuinely slower than a feeder series through certain sections — not as hyperbole, but as a real operational consequence. It's a reminder that modern F1's hybrid architecture creates performance cliffs that have nothing to do with mechanical grip or aerodynamics. For a driver of Alonso's experience, raising this publicly is also a way of framing expectations: if the result looks odd, the energy strategy is likely the reason. The Belgian GP has always exposed the gap between raw pace and managed pace, and this adds another layer to how teams will have to think about Raidillon and the Kemmel Straight.
