Yeah Palmer probably wouldn't have caught Alonso. But I'm pretty sure he made a pit stop at a different time to those ahead so he was closing in on the guys ahead of him (Kyvat, Alonso) and got it down to about 3.6 seconds, this is while Alonso was letting Vettel through then he suddenly slowed about when Kyvat was passing him. Which put him second to last with only Palmer behind. Not sure if Kyvat made the pass because of Alonso's issues or it happened just after. Nice to see them following the guys at the back in the race though instead of just looking at the leader, because they had some fun tussles.
