Oh I don't mean he's falling off the cliff just that he's fallen off far more than Hamilton has - Alonso was never super quick even in his peak days, he was just super savvy and maxed out his race pace really well but he was never as quick as Max or Lewis on a single lap - both seemingly can extract miracles out of the car once in a while.
His race craft is still immense but the speed doesn't seem to be there anymore. Of course his car can hide a lot of this but I'm not sure he's any faster than guys like Gasly, Ocon or Albon - he's just smarter. OTOH, I figure Hamilton is still as quick as the 2nd tier guys like Sainz or Norris (I can't prove it though).
