Mercedes = sprinter. In the race, you need to be a marathon runner.

To me this just shows how little pressure he was under last year.

While I agree that the call was suspect, it is possible that Sauber were genuinely concerned about possible altercations if Perez would attempt to overtake Alonso.

Hamilton SOOL today. He didn't put a foot wrong but strategy and pitstops ruined his race.

Yet today he stomped him with that *BEEP* Ferrari(not really Hamiltons fault so much as the team but he should've been able to outrace the cars in front of him)

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.

He didn't have the pace of the Sauber though. Which was absolutely weird. In fact no one had. :wtf:

The FIA are to blame for this mockery.

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.
My thought.

Perez is lucky he did not spin out otherwise he may not even be on the podium.

Is it just me or do 90% of the wins get thrown away by an great strategy at McLaren?

That was probably set up with rain in mind. as all cars in the midfield can take this risk.
Are you saying Perez was quickest because his car was the best ? or he was the best ? or the car was set up the best ?
