Williams is half a second behind Ferrari and at least 0.7 behind Mercedes.

Let us remember that Symonds works for an F1 team that is listed on the stock market.
A quick search online will tell you that their stocks are not doing so well.

Alonso has spent the early part of what appears to be a race run in the 1m31-32s bracket. We haven't seen any times that slow from the Mercedes or Ferrari race stints, aside from a couple of Raikkonen laps in traffic and the final lap of Hamilton's short opening stint on softs when he appeared to lose the tyre performance. However, Alonso is completing his (heaviest) opening stint on mediums, whereas Mercedes and Ferrari started their 'races' with softs.
