Sour grapes much?
Or just pointing out the flaw in your fanboi comment. What about the drives from Senna, Vergne, Raikkonen, Schumacher, etc. What did Alonso actually do in the rain other than pit at the right time and steal the lead after McLaren messed up?

It was a good drive from Alonso in a poor car, but it wasn't anywhere near being dominant enough to basically slag off the rest of the field. Good strategy, fairly good pace and a huge heap of luck got Alonso that win.

Probably the worst race result conceivable for Massa.

Thanks to Sauber, Ferrari and the FIA for causing me to question myself why I'm watching F1 after all.
So you think it's impossible for a 2nd-year driver to screw up on a drying track with the pressure of fighting for the win?

Tough crowd.
I'll assume you didn't hear the part where they told Perez "we need to keep this position" literally half a lap before he went off. If you tell me that was an honest mistake after that transmission it's an insult to human intelligence.

He won the race. That should count for something, yanno?
Didn't deny it. I merely took objection to a comment about there only being two rain meisters in a race where there were many.

Out on a limb here:

Raikkonen will win at least one race this year.

And Alonso has a Hitler 'stache on his chin???

But only Alonso and Perez get praise at the end, saying how much better they were than the rest in the rain? And what about Vergne in the wet in the first stint?

I know you're happy that your team won and all, but still...

It was a joking reply to someone else's post. Get over it.

Raikkonen is always stunning. I just love this guy. Was it Grosjean who caused Schumacher to spin?

Sth pretty funny happened to me. When Button collided I thought it was Hamilton!
Perez was on fire today. Congrats to him for his first podium finish.

Mercedes was disastrous. Schumacher finishing in points is the only positive point.

Feel sorry for Perez, should of won that. Mclaren need to sack their tacticians and Alonso needs a raise! Also, Vettel. Lol.

I agree with that. A lot of good drives today.

And I think a likely gamble with setup and a measure of serendipity were just as important to Ferrari's win as Alonso's monster drive.

But, man, it sure was a monster drive.

Congrats to Alonso & Ferrari.
Shocking results for McLaren. Today they really sucked during pitstops.
Typical McLaren mistakes again.
