Fernando Alonso made major gains in the first seven laps of the race which put him in content for a strong podium finish.
He passed Paul di Resta, Kamui Kobayashi and the slow-starting Nico Rosberg on the first lap, Kimi Raikkonen on the second and by lap seven he’d taken Michael Schumacher for fifth.
But he ended up losing out to a driver who started even further back and made even more passes. Sergio Perez had to pass some drivers multiple times and put a total of three moves on Raikkonen during the course of the race. He ran out of time to catch Hamilton – at the rate he was gaining Perez needed around four more laps to have a chance of taking the lead.

The Ferrari drivers had dropped well off the pace by the end of the race. Particularly Felipe Massa, who was rapidly falling back into the clutches of Kimi Raikkonen and the two-stopping Mercedes.
Michael Schumacher took almost three seconds out of Massa on the last lap and Nico Rosberg was 4.2 seconds faster.

surprised mecedes made a 2 stop work alright. can’t remember seeing their 2nd stops on tv which made me very confused as to why they were so fast.
It looks like the ferraris stopped too early. perhaps they were covering others.

Massa made his stop ‘blind’ – the team had no telemetry, so he called the stop. I suspect Vettel pitted in reaction to that and Alonso came in at the same time pre-empting that Vettel would do so.

Alonso also had to pit early, otherwise Schumacher would have overtook him as he pitted even earlier due to the two-stop strategy. He was closest to Michael out of the frontrunners at that time, so he had to react first – but I admit that does not explain why Massa pitted one lap even earlier. I thought the early stop would compromise Alonso’s race, but in the end it did not.
Apart from the overtakings, sudden retirements, Alonso’s masterful opening laps, overall pace and Perez’s surge it was a classic strategy battle. It was a good race.

McLaren’s job was made far easier when Massa, Vettel and Alonso came out of their first stops in traffic. It meant they didn’t get the time advantage of fresh tyres, so McLaren could delay their stops, making a 1 stop less marginal

Note how Hamilton was able to pull sharply away from the ferraris after checo broke through them. Suggests he had a lot of pace in hand over the ferraris.

Massa highlighted the issue Ferrari had (at least on his car, but that was also bc. he stopped early thanks to lack of telemetry to guide them I guess), namely tyre degradation. Possibly Alonso suffered less from it, but I think both indicated their wear was quite high @dmw; HAM did suggest he had pace in hand, and it does seem likely.

I think that’s an indication of the Ferrari’s slowing down, not him speeding up.
It’s just amazing how, once Sergio got the clean air, he just went. Just fantastic stuff, I swear he’s a future world champion.

Did anyone notice that Perez was the only driver to improve against the leader in the last phase of the race, lap 37 onwards (with the exception of the two Mercs and Pastor). Why? It’s just such a dramatic and consistant performance advantage over the rest of the field.

I think (not having looked at the tyre strategies) he was the only frontrunner on a counter strategy ie. hard-soft. The still astonishing sauber tyre preservation and sheer pace and fight of checo made it work…. But I wonder who else could have been racing him for position had they been on the same strategy.

Good point @newdecade, perhaps Alonso should have tried that too once he knew a good lap in Q3 wasn’t likely (though he might not have had those great first 10-12 laps then), could have stopped later and not had degradation at the end as he had now.

Sauber has really good race pace. Force India on the other hand have a slower race pace, quite opposite to what they were in the past

I can’t understand Kimi’s strategy. His first stop was right in the window for 2 stopping which meant he had to do 36 laps on those hard tyres, more than any other driver and was very lucky not to have been taken by Schumacher at the end. It seemed like he was matching the pace of the leaders when he got some clear air when Schumacher made his first pitstop. Maybe they were trying to cover him off but that didn’t work and then decided after to switch to a one stop.

It kept him in front of the Mercs, and they couldn’t have predicted the Ferrari’s drop off. So I think it worked well for him.

HRT look much more in touch with Marussia, or rather Glock. Either Glock had a terrible race (which I’m inclined to think, considering Pic finished ahead of him) or they had a genuinely decent race. Caterham look lonely as usual.
