Lewis lost the race on Saturday, purely through bad luck at catching Webber at the wrong moment - one down to experience. No doubt he was quicker than Alonso though - but whether he could have sustained that pace for an entire race is another matter. Amazingly Hamilton was so quick in quali 3 with so much more fuel on board. I do agree though that he could not have made the supersoft tyres last for the second stint of a one stop strategy.
Alonso drove an exceptional race, coped with the pressure brilliantly, and delivered just like a Champion should.
