Ferrari
Race: Alonso
Season: Fernando Alonso 16 - Felipe Massa 3
Massa got another great start and was probably too polite in the Senna Esses when maybe earlier in the season he'd have tried to run side by side with Mark Webber. He decided to bank his gains and slotted in behind. He fell victim to his repeated crossing of the white line, got a drive-through*, but after that wasn't fast enough to haul in Sergio Perez, so it's unlikely that he would have held off Lewis Hamilton.
Alonso showed yet again that he doesn't need a grumbling Finn in the other car to try his absolute hardest. There's no other setting on the box. Okay, maybe he didn't resist Webber quite as much as he could the second time round, but that might have been down to straightforward pragmatism and not taking life out of the tyres in a vain pursuit of a place he was never going to keep.
