Fernando Alonso has converted a four stop Ferrari strategy to win the Spanish Grand Prix after a 5th place start on the grid. Kimi Raikkonen finished second on a three stopper while Felipe Massa completes Ferrari's party by finishing in third place.
Hamilton and Mercedes didn't show anything special today.
I would g with Grosjean if whe manages to put perfect lap together. If not then Kimi, he was very fast in FP3
It's been a long time since we drove last time, but it has also been a short time at the same time

I have the impression that Mercedes hasn't shown his full potential on these practices. They don't do a qualy lap on P3, they only have done a loaded stint with soft tyre, but nothing else.
I really think we will see a Mercedes on pole.

And that is maybe the right thing to do, to shift attention towards race pace, because they had strong qualifying pace (2 poles in a row) but in the race they struggled and went backwards rather than manage the pole, get the stints done and win the races.

It happened before in 2009 when it got worse before it got better. Just a fun predication though no facts.
Well I was partly right McLaren has got worse, I wonder if I will get the rest right.
hmm close enough, well done Nico!!!!
