First, you had a brilliant manueuver by Mclaren to file papers questioning the moving tea tray on the underbody of the Ferrari. I believe this caught a few other teams, Toyota in particular.
Second, Alonso was in a league by himself with a comparable fuel load on his first stint. He walked away to about a 13 second lead by the first pit stop, and thanks to brilliant teamwork by McLaren as Hamilton held up both Ferrari drivers. Regardless of Kimi nursing his engine, Lewis Hamilton made his car as wide as he possibly could and he baited Massa into cooking that corner brilliantly. Massa made the same mistake not once, BUT TWICE!
Kimi certainly seems to be the class of the Ferrari stable. However, at McLaren, Alonso had the benefit of the favored pit strategy and it was Hamilton that faced the real challenges from Massa and Kimi. McLaren seems to have two drivers that exhibit excellent racecraft.
I hope the rest of the season is that exciting and I am banking on a very close points race.
