Alonso's frustration is entirely understandable, but so is the way Petrov drove his (excellent) race. Alonso couldn't get past him on pace. End of story, as far as I'm concerned.

I would think that it was even more satisfying to petrov that Fred threw a fist at him....If I were him, instead of responding back with anger, I would have been smiling my face off...as having confirmed by Fred that I had done my job.

While it may not have been enough to keep his drive next year in the eyes of Renault, at least he finally showed not only speed which we have seen a few times, but also temprement, pressure on him through a large portion of the race and he didn't crack and wasn't timid in telling Alonso where to get off.
Good for him. I hope he finds a drive somewhere next yearI still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

But where for art thou, Mr Dennis & Mr Stewart with their criticism of Petrov a la Bernoldi?
Ah, mio capito....a different tune for Ferrari!
Petrov was right to race, and also Buemi with Webber.
As for the stupido remarks about the 'talent' comment, what was the race engineer supposed to say? "You are 5mph slower on the straight, so give up"?Il diavolo era il 1° luglio 1947 nato.

Based on the old sound clip that Speed played, when Alonso was trying to pass Fisichella several years back, I imagined him whining to his team over the radio, "what more I have to do?! what more I have to do???!!!"
It is the job (and obligation) of racers to race. While it is understandable that Alonso would have been frustrated, while being stuck behind Petrov, unless Petrov had been a lap down, he was obliged to do his best to finish ahead of Alonso and everyone else behind him.
What more I have to doooooo???!!!
I guess you needed to pass him, Fernando. Not sure what else to tell ya, buddy."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith
