Ferrari have a car for all seasons. Alonso put it on pole in the wet, for the second consecutive race, but unlike Silverstone two weeks ago this time he won the race in the dry as well.
He got a good start and controlled the race. He didn't have the quickest car by any means but he managed it well.

Where he needed to be quick - through the last couple of corners, and the first part of the lap before the DRS overtaking zone - he put the car on the limit a bit more to ensure he could not be passed, and everywhere else he looked after the car and tyres.
He did his fastest lap on the penultimate lap, so he clearly had something in reserve if he had really needed to buckle down to it.
He - and the car - also looked after their tyres better than Jenson Button in the McLaren, who ran out of grip towards the end of the race.
