Another boring race at Slowmola. 2005 was the exception but pretty much processional races are whats on the menu here with very narrow track and overtaking with similar cars a virtual impossibility.

Having said that, It was nice to see a reverse of 2005 with Alonso attempting to apply the pressure and Michael having to resist. I think Michael did a splendid job to hold Alonso back who tried everything in the book to get past but didnt succeed.

I wonder what is up with Kimi and the McLarens in general. Despite having less fuel than Alonso, they were well behind the pace of Alonso. Kimi had a subdued race this time around. I hope this is a one-off for him and that he can along with Michael challenge Alonso for the title.

Fisi must have been an emotional wreck after qualifying when he couldnt complete a lap due to the yellow flags. I think his mood must have been low during this race. I bet if it was Alonso starting 11th, he wouls have ended up a lot higher.

Alonso's pace was devastating in the first stint considering how much fuel he had onboard. I am pretty sure he could have won if Renault stuck to their original fuel gameplan.

Webber drove a great (but invisible) race - the TV guys didnt pick him up at all.

Button did a great job on track but the team lacks proper strategy and smooth, quick pitwork. Both these factors mean that they have very little chance of beating a Renault/Ferrari/McLaren for a win. Barrichello played the disappearing act today ... what the heck happened?

Ide is a nuisance and his superlicence must be revoked. He is a menace on the track.
