It's very obvious that Fernando was very damaged by that decision, he was definitely trapped in that position(between "4" cars). I actually wonder how is that possible, why didn't Hamilton have to go "first"??? He had a bigger advantage, he was able to make a bigger gap and with that fact why did they decide to sent Fernando to go first through pit stop??? Is this another sabotage by Ron Davis and McLaren's team??

Can you reliably say that Alonso was heavier??
2007-09-30 02:05:32 · update #2
Because of the fuelling strategies that Alonso himself chose during qualifying. To attempt to get P1, yesterday, Alonso was lighter on fuel and therefore had to come in first during the race. What he didn't bank on though was Lewis getting P1 with more fuel and he certainly didn't bank on somebody putting a wall on the track. Who is Ron Davis? I know Ron Dennis, the team director for McLaren and no he did not put the wall in front of Alonso, Fernando found the wall all by himself, without any help from McLaren

hmmm what the others wrote on here about fuel i'm not to sure but i thought that since he was second alonso he had to pit because that meant that lewis can go out and extended his lead so when lewis comes out from his pit he would still be in front also i think that mclaren got alonso first because there was traffic coming anways so alonso could get stuck in that !

Ron sabotaging Alonso?
Think thats a bit rich given the information coming from them these past few weeks!
I'm sure if Alonso had come in after Hamilton this question would be "why is Hamilton getting preferential treatment?" sometimes you can't win 'em all!
Its all academic as he aquaplaned off anyway!

Maybe Ron Davis had that wall jump out at Alonso.

You know I watched the race and I was amazed at more than just that. All teams have different strategies and if you aren't in the center of the circle, we can only guess what there thinking is or was.
McLaren seems to be full of what were they thinking this year and it does seem to work for at least one of them per race.

There was a reply showing Alonso run off at a turn somewhere during his inlap. That costed him alot and got stuck there.

as ken ^ said, Fernando had less fuel on board. i don't think it was a deliberate attempt to sabotage his race. after all Ron would rather see his cars finish 1-2.

I'm a little suspect of that decision too. It would not suprise me at all if Ron Dennis didn't engineer that little stunt.
