Puncture. Left rear gone.

Typical luck though - all the debris in the world in turn one and who is the one driver who had to go and get a puncture...

winning strategy for Grosjean: Pitstop in the first lap from the un-preferred tyre to the preferred one, than one more stop during the race and cowabunga! (In Silverston he would have won, but his pace today was a bit worrying)
Bonus: no need for an overaggressive start reduces the chance to crash with some backmarkers in the first corner

next time read here
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Raikkonen and DiResta just gave a perfect demonstration of good, hard, clean racing.

Andrea Stella:

Vettel is 1.09 behind you (translated from Italian)

Alonso's Reply: Don't worry lets see what the FIA does.

Oh its not over >:)

But what a resolve from Alonso, driving, under pressure and his mind is working like a logical computer. Love it!

Exactly my thought. There are a few drivers on the grid who could learn a lot from that.
