Let's be clear: the strategy, or the balance of the car nor the pace in race... nothing has gone from being mediocre in the case of Fernando Alonso. This Chinese Grand Prix should be given to Ferrari readings of alarm, that we must put the batteries immediately to improve what is a start to the season grim for the aspirations of Fernando Alonso and Ferrari, and the worst is that it is not anything that surprised us. The pace of Felipe Massa was far superior and only the strategy failed him, sad as the strategy of your team that you condition.
The truth is that no one has made excuses, Ferrari, Fernando Alonso or even Massa. The pace has been slow, at no time has been able to achieve better results and what is more significant, Fernando Alonso was apparently calm but his face read disappointment by a race that has noonly, a positive point.
The output was again poor, losing the position with Felipe Massa , and away from the option to give to Nico Rosberg, who has shown her it hat of the bad performance of Mercedes GP has shifted away despite have pretty bad with fuel economy. Either way, the career of Fernando Alonso only has been committed by the material that had and the lack of pace.
In the first part of the race we have seen the mini train of two Ferrari behind Rosberg, and sincerely or Massa could not with Rosberg, Alonso with Massa, and it is true that the situation was compromised by not risking a maneuver of attack between teammates. Although her there was, I do not think that the pace of Fernando Alonso could be an overtaking Massa as he was losing tenths with respect to front his own pilots.
After the entrance to boxes of Nico Rosberg, the two Ferrari trying to make progress, but Felipe Massa would soon enter in boxes, leaving Fernando Alonso briefly leader of the race but at a pace much slower than their persecutors. Enter to change tires, everything was in place and Alonso had to fight on the track by beating Schumacher. This fight exhausted minimum chances up positions in the race, as the great work of Schumacher defending the position lasted more laps of the desirable and spent the time of the pneumatic frescoes.
Between the struggle and lengthen the second stint too much, the options were dashed at times, losing rhythm, meters and everything. The strategy did not work and the last period of the race more agony than a career, and in the final laps has lost so much time that Schumacher put to the test. Happily he was allowed to retain the seventh place, but it tastes like nothing today. He himself so transmitted with his face in the playpen. He could not go faster, and that is what happened. We hope to see improvement for Turkey or it will be an extremely difficult season.
