Some one must be a happy bunny :smile:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
An eventful yet useless race. The top spot goes to someone who doesn't really need it (yes yes, it's a big boost to the morale, blah blah, but Alonso will most likely move out of Renault next year. And he doesn't really need a top spot, he needs a good car.), and similarly, Kimi getting those points when it won't make a difference, and the championship contenders scoring just two points between them.
 
Kimi's points will make a difference to the contructors title. There is more than one race going on. Plus Alonso's victories help prove to any other teams that want him just how good a driver he is (if that really needed pointing out again).
 
Sounds like it was an interesting race. It was on at 7am here, I don't get up that early. For anything.
 
Good for him, it's not for this year, but for the next.
 
By the way, who knows why the tyres today are all painted in green?

Just to highlight the environmental commitment of F1.

Hamilton and Massa were idiots, i am glad they did not score even though i support Hamilton.
