Alonso could have overtaken him, he had plenty of laps to. It's a race, it can't all be gifted. If he wants second in the championship then he has to take it.

Lol so our faster driver , should take unwanted risks to pass his team mate... When he is clearly faster then him.....team mates should work together and not against each other....same otherway around.... But to be honest i don,t see massa to happy about helping alonso..... (i wouldnt be aswell tough, constantly playing second fiddle but hey he gets paid alot for doing so)

haha alonso said on radio he gave up.

Race destroyed behind Rosberg and Massa.

Fingerboy wins, time to mute.

That's the wrong part, I feel Ferrari drivers aren't allowed to fight on track, at least that's the feeling I got from listening to their test driver.

[SanderV]

So close to Button once again.

[Bruno]

1.39.6 Last lap of Vettel....holy crap LOLLL

[Bruno]

webber no replies on team radio =O

[impactX]

Alonso ran out of fuel.

[FFFerrari]

Fernando and Rosberg run out of fuel?

[RockyRaccoon]

I think Alonso's DRS was broken in the fight with Button? It wasn't opening and he was in the DRS zone from what I could see.

[Kyss4k]

Oh, Vettel has so much speed in his bag. Ubelievable. By the way, Alonso had the speed to get second place (Felipe could have fight for posim as well). Strategy around the first pitstops was against it tho

Not really, he got past him in Japan.

OK lets see yet again RB on the podium..we have lost both champoinships the least we could do is try and finish ALO second overrall but as you say let them race and loose!

Both probably shut it off to make sure there is some for the post race test.

[NanoTheQuickest]

Nice to see Fernando giving it all at the end!!!!!

Well done by them.

Race finished: Fernando 5th and Felipe 6th. The traffic prevented us to fight for the podium.

Well done by them.

Well done indeed, what a season for them, dominating most of the time

[laznlSpeedDemon]

When have you ever seen positions from teammates gifted? You're competing, and if the situation was flipped, Alonso wouldn't have given up his position either. Quit you guys' complaining about our drivers, our drivers did what they could. If anything, Alonso gave too much respect to Massa by not attempting to pass but if it were any other driver, he'd go balls to the wall to pass regardless.

"I give up, I give up"

Is he suffering from a lack of motivation?

But what traffic?

[FFFerrari]

I'm still bewildered by the comments Alonso made that he is giving up. Was it just a ploy to fool the McLaren or was he really throwing in the towel?

[NanoTheQuickest]

Please please Ferrari give Fernando the car he deserves next year, he has has the third fastest car and look at him!

He is the fastest guy out there, fact!

[SanderV]

"I give up, I give up"

Is he suffering from a lack of motivation?

I don't know. Maybe he did give up, maybe he was just playing games. Although I didn't expect this from him, I don't really blame him after such a race and such a season. He has been superb all season, proving he is the best driver out there.

Lose what? You said it yourself, both championships gone.

Traffic caused by their decision. Alonso lost about more than 8 seconds by waiting 2 (or was it 3?) laps longer and same for Felipe. It could have been nice race for us.

[NanoTheQuickest]

Of course it was a dummy, he said it in English! (He speaks in Italian with his engineer)

and what does 2nd in the drivers championship mean to the constructor exactly? Team mates sacrifice position for the WCC and the WDC only - thats the Ferrari way.

[Curbs]

Our drivers did what they could, but again Felipe doesn´t improve on his startingposition. Felipe can´t say traffic stoped him today. He doesn´t have the pace, and thats it.
Massa has improved from his startingposition only 2 times in 16 races.
Alonso has only dropped in raceposition vs his gridposition 3 times this year.
14 times of bad luck, thats a lot
