FORMULA 1 | 2010 | FERNANDO ALONSO 4TH PLACE IN CHINA GP

Spanish Formula 1 Driver FERNANDO ALSONSO has finished 4th in the 2010 CHINA GP in rainy conditions & an accidental race that gave us an authentic dance of changing positions. The other Spaniard who got a place was JAIME ALGUERSUARI who is quickly learning & catching the eye of many, while Spanish veteran driver DE LA ROSA didn´t finish.

Alonso was sanctioned for a starting violation that possibly cost him an achievable podium position (forced to do a “drive-through via pit lane). However, the merit must all go to the winner Button (McLaren) who did an excellent race, along with Hamilton who finished second & took it all to the edge, risking himself with sanctions for pit stop entry violations (some think he escaped again from them thanks to favouritism) , & third placed Rosberg.
The F1 World Championship calssification table current looks this way:

1. Button 60 pts
2. Rosberg 50pts
3. Alonso 49 pts
4. Hamilton 49pts

Just to finish off, once again we saw subtle signs of the uneasy relationship between Ferrari team-mates Alonso & Massi. As written here weeks back, their is a tense “calm” awaiting to explode, as both are under strict orders from Ferrari not to illustrate to the “open World” any conflict. However,several pit lane manouvers today makes one think how long this “artificial” relationship will last before it explodes.
