The circuit is just too "tame" isn't it? It's not like Monaco (or even Singapore) which can be brutal in terms of punishing mistakes, there are plenty of run off areas. It doesn't really have any massively fast sections or tight corners, its all a bit meandering - there's no real test for the drivers or the car.
Good race by Alonso though, something is seriously going wrong for Webber, Alonso was never close to Vettel, but took Webber on fair pace I'd say. Just before his last pitstop, Webber got it horribly wrong entering the pitlane, his tyres were shot, even if he hadn't pitted Alonso would've got by.
Ferrari seem consistently poorer on the strategy, they lost Massa his place to Hamilton, either stay out long aiming for a 2 stop or pit quickly, not in-between. And they also seem poor with pitstops, even discounting the mistakes during the pitstop their consistently slower than redbull.
What happened to McLaren's race pace? They fell of horribly, Hamilton wasn't just behind Webber, he was way off. I guess the hotter temperatures just didn't suit them, and maybe it effected Massa as well.
The Ferrari's seem clearly the best at starts though.
true...but then again maybe not...you would get all the Vettel haters trying to cause trouble....like i keep saying is a tight championship too much to ask for?!
