We're never going to win the Constructors, despite what Alonso does. There's no way anyone can justify these perfromances from Felipe anymore.

No hope for WCC. Might as well use Massa as a development driver for new parts for this year and next.

**vagos** · 13th May 2012, 14:56

stefano is happy, we need to improve the car everywhere in the aerodynamics

FORZA FERRARI KEEP WORKING !!!!!

Excellent Race! Wonderful drive by Maldonado! Wonderful drive by Alonso! Very poor drive, AGAIN by Massa! Time for Ferrari to call it a day for Massa. He is a mess. Fernando gained some very strong points today for his quest for the Driver's Championship! The ferrari looks much better now and they have much more to come. Great Result For the Ferrari Team! Congradulatioins to Williams and Frank Williams!

Ciao.

Forza Ferrari!!!!

Alonso said that at the end he felt something is wrong with his car.......

**Cemz85** · 13th May 2012, 15:00

Alonso : "towards the end, the car was wierd, i think we lost an aerodynamic part or something"

**qb_marukochan** · 13th May 2012, 15:00

But yes, much history there. Poor character, fast driver.

**tpe** · 13th May 2012, 15:00

I am happy only for the 2nd place. The car is not very improved, we will see...

**DJTaurus** · 13th May 2012, 15:01

It's not the car mate, it's these Pirelli tyres. Felipe, Hamilton, Michael and a couple of other more aggressive drivers struggle with them. Even Button had some woes in the last two GPs.

Felipe's problem is his mentality. Fernando took everything away from him - the team, the car, the confidence etc.

He isn't on Alonso's pace. Remember Ron Dennis saying "we were racing Fernando today". They didn't want him to win, especially ahead of Hamilton. Sabotaging his tyre pressures and various other things just to keep him behind Hamilton. Plus, as soon as Alonso stopped sharing his setups with Hamilton, Hamilton got worse results.

Remember too, that they finished level on points so despite what many journalists say, Hamilton didn't beat Alonso.
