Yes, he did. He got really close to Alonso and used DRS + Alonso's tow to overtake him.

I no I am going to be hated and given a bashing for saying that.

Was Alonso managing his tyres for that stint or was that his true pace? It was great magnificent overtake. Alonso gave breathing space and still tried to fight back.

People say how great this year's tyres are yet if you're on the wrong tyre at the wrong moment you're a sitting duck.

Piquet was in a similar situation in 1987 and yet it produced one of the all time great overatakes.

I for one have no problem what so ever to be a donkey. The race was pretty much settled until the lat 10 laps. Unless it was deemed dull because Fred didn't win, on contrary, it was one of the more exciting finishes of the season. Fred used up his rubber when he was battling Lewis and Mark took advantage of it. I'd say it's a fair result the end of the day. At least the tires didn't went off as they did in Canada if I recall correctly. Massa did a better job with the softs in a heavier fuel load eg
Hen he needed to overtake Shuey early in the race.
Drivers: Mark, Romain and Massa
Best team: Red Bull for great call on Seb's stops in the first stint
Donkeys:Mclaren, Mercedes, Pastor and Koba

What the hell is going on with Rosberg?
Drivers, Webbo, Grosjean.

Simples, Webber for driver, Pastor for donkey (again). If it wasn't for the spain win i think there would be calls for his head, given the number of good points scoring finishes he's thrown away now (Oz, Valencia, GB off the top of my head)

Drivers: Webber, Alonso, Schumacher.

Honourable mention to Massa who should have no problems retaining a drive if he consistently performs as well as today.

Donkeys: Maldonado, honourable mention to Kobayashi.

Drivers: Webber - beat Vettel and can win title if he keeps this up. Wonder how he goes towards end of season tracks though...
Schumacher - 28 sec ahead of Rosberg, > +0.5sec fastest lap. Similar gaps in Malaysia, Valencia and probably Australia. Rosberg only really really beat him in China (maybe Spain?) and yet Rosberg is destroying Michael...?
Grosjean - 7sec behind Raikkonen, 17sec behind winner. Pitted for repairs on lap 1.

Donkeys: Maldonado - not so much for another crash, but his general lack of respect, as said by Perez.

me neither ! :bandit:

driver- Webber and Grosjean
donkey- Maldonado- throws it into another car again- Barcelona aside he is useless- another good haul of points down the toilet. Shame Williams need the PDVSA money

Driver of the race - Webber

Donkeys: Maldonado, a special mention to Grosjean who once again made contact with other cars. A good drive afterwards but you just cannot go on hitting cars every other race.
