I can't believe I only just got this joke today.

Years wondering wtf "El Plan" actually was

u/Spraynpray89 5h ago

"The Plan". Thats all there is to it. It doesn't actually have anything to do with Alpine if that's what you are thinking. The person above was just making a joke using the letters.

u/Thev69 5h ago

u/space_coyote_86 McLaren 15h ago

True. He came up in the refuelling era, he wants to get to the finish with less pitstops.

u/Cold_Dawn95 12h ago

Tbf it saves going to the petrol station as often and even the performance of the diesel is more than enough for the UK's roads ...

G400d means the owner has taste. The G63 is a pointless flex machine.

The base g class is a pointless flex machine lol

u/TunerJoe Carlos Sainz 13h ago

BS. The base model is an actual capable off roader. Who tf would want to do off roading with 22s

u/yamsyamsya 10h ago

Has anyone ever taken these offroading ever?

2

u/m1a2c2kali Safety Car 13h ago edited 13h ago

It’s plenty capable (but so is the amg) but you can get an actual capable off roader with way less money. It’s all flex , check out the trails, for all the talk about jeeps being mall crawlers of which they def are you see way more of them on the trails

-3

u/delphicphoenix Sir Lewis Hamilton 16h ago

It’s a diesel mate 🙄 The only thing they are tasting is smog

9

u/BassWingerC-137 14h ago

Diesel = low end torque = good off road.

u/TunerJoe Carlos Sainz 16h ago

So be it. I don't mind it on such a vehicle.

u/haha2lolol 15h ago

tbf the g400d outputs a lot less CO2 than the G63

(228g/km vs 335g/km)

u/Oockland 9h ago

You're livin' in 2010 man. The particluate emission regs or diesel are pretty much the same as petrol.

Fernando is faster than you! Pls confirm

u/ZeePM Formula 1 11h ago

Didn't Lewis own one of these or an earlier version? I remember him talking about it on Top Gear. Clarkson was making fun of him for using the fuel of Satan because it was a diesel.

u/graph1cology Nico Rosberg 11h ago

He's faster than you

u/IS2SPICY4U 11h ago

u/Lussypicker1969 8h ago

I would pass him so you can always say that you’ve passed Alonso

u/Fresh_Preparation421 8h ago

Mister save the universe driving a 4 liter diesel is quite the hypocrisy.

Dude, you are probably thinking about the wrong driver.

u/pahel_miracle13 Ferrari 8h ago

Mercedes Alonso let's go

u/YoooCakess 6h ago

You should overtake

u/BigBlackHzYoBak 6h ago

Stroll probably binned it up ahead and they are waiting for the marshals to clear out the wreck.

u/Sokolberg 6h ago edited 2h ago

So it’s either:

A: Alonso moves to Mercedes, replaces Russell, sabotages Antonelli and becomes champion in 25

B: Alonso moves to Mercedes and they immediately fall to 8th in constructors
