told you, that slipstreaming was just comedy gold.
If there was ever a way to show how not to it Alonso and Massa just did it.

Alonso looked well pissed off then 
Button looked almost disinterested then for the photos
Alonso had a mechanical problem on that last lap apparently.
really? not heard that anywhere.
Ferrari tweeted it and Massa just said as much in the press conference.
Ferrari twitter is the source. As SAF would say “When an Italian tells me its pasta on the plate I check under the sauce to make sure. They are the inventors of the smokescreen.”
If they made a mistake in front of a home crowd when he looks like he has a chance of pole, would they openly admit it? Seems convenient given they also fecked up the slipstreaming on the first run.

Massa just said the Alonso had problems but did not know what it was, maybe he was just laughing too much and the utter cock up they had just done.
"It looks like there was a mechanical failure on the rear of Fernando's car, possibly the rear anti-roll bar."
I have to agree with this , they fecked up pure and simple, they should just admit it.
Massa did his best middle sector in the first run when Alonso gave him the tow. The reason he went quicker on the second run is because he all but matched the McLarens in the first and third sectors.
And you may well be right but you can't say that they messed up for absolute sure as you have no knowledge of what actually happened...

you are right of course, I dont know what happened. I can only comment on what I saw and to me it looked like they messed up.
Alonso is a great driver and he wasn't slow like that at any point during quali so a mechanical failure makes sense, I just don't trust Ferrari is all.........saying that I don't trust any of the teams.
Interesting, Domenicali and Alonso saying that it happened on the first run in Q3 when he gave Massa a tow. His sector times were awful throughout Q3 so would supposedly make sense... who knows though.
Alonso will a mechanical problem.
Really unlucky for him... 2 races in a row where it could cost him a lot of points

So he may start from the pits?
No they can fix stuff like that in parc ferme.
cheers for that
Anthony Davidson from Sky has just tweeted that he's watched Alonso's Q3 laps which were fraught with understeer, which is a result of an anti roll-bar failure.
Kubica is competing in a rally tomorrow. Whilst I think he's sadly done in F1 (at least as a potential world champion) its still good to see him back
Sky should get Jake pronto.
Oh look an American telling us he has the best track in the world despite the fact its still half built.
fecking hell, thought Massa was going to hit Hamilton.
Massa :lo.... wait, what?
nearly a disaster on the first corner
Nah they all drove well into T1.
Alonso vs Schumi 
Jesus that was close Webber and Senna
Senna nearly took out Webber
De Resta my get a pen if they think he forced Senna off the track
Those kerbs are terrible, he almost took off
That could of been very nasty, I bet his back will be sore later
fecking Sky. Can't use Sky Go at work because I can't install Silverlight as I'm not admin, and Sky Go supports all pissing Android phones other than mine.
Only a matter of time before Perez moves to a top team.
Possibly take over from Massa next season.
slow pit for Button
Alonso to take out the finger
Hamilton is comfortable, trouble is Vettel & Alonso are going to score well anyway so does nothing for his title hopes.
barring anything silly, Lewis has this race wrapped up, dont see him stopping for tyres again.
Brundle's saying the stewards won't follow that up but I think Alonso had half a car alongside Vettel there. Is this my Ferrari bias?
