So he bluffed Alonso, BIG TIME

Meanwhile after the MS/JV clash, the others permitted JV to limp along in the lead for lap after lap until the last corner, when a certain mac driver passed him for his first f1 win, after Jock Clear had repeatedly reminded JV of the "agreement"Only the dead know the end of war. Plato:beer:

And we all would have been shocked when Petrov would have put up a fierce fight against the other renault powered car... just as fierce as the one the toro rosso showed a few laps earlier

FA did a very good race but it just happened that MS caused that crash and some cars pulled in and that was that. From that point forward Ferrari had it really tough. i guess they thought they have more chances against a renault than a redbull. And Massa was really lame once more. I really wonder why the team didn't let him get his lucky win this year at his team mate expense. . Well, I don't acutally but it still seems to puzzle some

Now this is where tyre issues came to play, because if Alonso had experienced the kind of tyre issues with softs that he had on friday, he most likely would have started going slower than Rosberg and Petrov on hard tyres. So ferrari took the risk that they could get past Rosberg and Petrov instead of gambling on softs tyres lasting."signature room for rent"
