MMmMmMM si es eso 'cojonudo'. Gazzetta dice qu el equipo no ha encontado nada que justifique ese bajón de rendimiento y lo atribuyen a las ruedas. Mal rollito si no saben que provocó esa caida de rendimiento.....

Lap 44
Alonso eventually came in on lap 44 – taking a set of used hards for a third time.
