Ferrari
Race: Alonso
Season: Fernando Alonso 14 - Felipe Massa 3
Massa outqualified Alonso again and was outracing him for a long way into the GP. Then we got to the Curious Incident of the Tyre Change in the Night Time, when they brought Massa in early and gave him medium tyres, instead of letting him go a few laps longer and take on the fast ones that he'd been so impressive with in the early stint. If he could make softs last for 18 laps on full tanks, why did Ferrari think that he couldn't manage 16 laps on softs with a fuel load that was diminishing to nothing?
Mass and Alonso could have finished 5th and 6th but finished 5th and 8th instead. If Ferrari lose a place in the Constructors' Championship by four points or less, then fingers should be pointed.
Forget about the overtaking-outside-the-track-limits issue, Fernando Alonso did an amazing job in keep his car under control as it bounced over ferocious kerbs while rejoining the track in front of Vergne. It was a masterpiece of a) car control, b) determination c) pain management d) car robustness. Having withstood a 25g bounce that necessitated a trip to the medical centre afterwards, he then went on to set three successive fastest laps at the end of the race. Still motivated...?
Close observers will also note that he managed to do all this without his mascot pig in the garage.
