+1

Pastor to replace Felipe now eh??? lol

**eugene22n** · 13th May 2012, 14:45

the field is very close this year. and the tires have a huge impact. todays 2nd is as good as a win with MAL in front.

**stefa** · 13th May 2012, 14:45

Congratulation to PM and Williams

**gazoz** · 13th May 2012, 14:45

Fantastic Result Ferrari Alonso OH and Massa!!!!

**hogo** · 13th May 2012, 14:46

wow awesome race! And so mach camera time for Ferrari, this is what I want to see in EVERY RACE! Good job Alonso and pit crew!

**Katu** · 13th May 2012, 14:46

i believe it's very good result! they usually said that Barca shows how good your car is, so not bad at all

**eugene22n** · 13th May 2012, 14:47

only problem with felipe is that he is a fully developed driver who is slower than alonso by at least 3 tenths. better to have an up and coming driver. but that is for another thread.

**vagos** · 13th May 2012, 14:47

i cannot remember when it was that last time williams won...... i suppose with montoya!!!!

Alonso for me is the best driver on the grid!!!!

This week-end has given me a lot of hope about the rest of the season.

FORZA FERRARI !

Congrats Williams, rather them than drinks company. Good race from us, but Williams just kept care of their tyres better than Ferrari. But this is a good performance and pace from the F2912 now, very consistent.
We are back, and will only improve from here.

**Red is Best** · 13th May 2012, 14:47

Great job, but strategy could have been better. Anyway great result, we're back on top.

**ferrari4life** · 13th May 2012, 14:47

I would rather it be a Williams than anyone else to win. Also we beat out Lotus which was well conserved

Brilliant race from Maldonado and Alonso. Great race all around really. All we need to do is give Alonso the car and he'll annihilate the opposition.

**vagos** · 13th May 2012, 14:49

Forza Ferrari!!!! a great race!!!

**fronaldo** · 13th May 2012, 14:50

Poor felipe...

**eugene22n** · 13th May 2012, 14:51

tied with VET for champ lead.

**vagos** · 13th May 2012, 14:51

we need to do something with massa though!!!

**gazoz** · 13th May 2012, 14:51

Lets thank Massa for making sure we always finish out of the points as second car

**stefa** · 13th May 2012, 14:51

FA thank you for brilliant drive today

**FerrariFanBoii** · 13th May 2012, 14:51

So are we back then?

Improved for sure but this was alonsos circuit... lets see in next race.

To be realistic if hamster,perez and vettel didnt have problems they would propably be in front of Alonso.

**vagos** · 13th May 2012, 14:52

i am also happy to see Kimi up there he is driving consistently

**scuderiafan** · 13th May 2012, 14:53

Yeah well done to Alonso and Ferrari.

Fantastic performance by pit crew again, and tied with Vettel on Points lol.
But felipe come on, please perform. Losing to Lotus also now in WCC I'm not enjoying that. Please felipe.

**vagos** · 13th May 2012, 14:53

nice scene when alonso and kimi pick up to the air pastor

There is unfortunately nothing that can make a zombie look better

Tied on points with Vettel? Hmpf- we need to do better then.

drive through didn't help. massa is not as adaptable as ALO; or the team is developing the car for his style. either way its terrible for massa. not many driver out there on par with ALO. Maybe after a more pit screw ups hamster might be seeing red.
