Absolute rubbish that Hamilton was faster than Alonso. After the 2nd pit stop Alonso slowed to 1m18s (probably having a break and a kitkat) which allowed Hamilton to catch right up. Once the kitkat was finished, Alonso immediately dropped into the 1m16s and pulled away from Hamilton. Hamilton's car was sliding, touching barriers - Alonso's was not.
Alonso probably was obeying team orders when he slowed down to 1m18s ... so that must mean Hamilton ignored them.
The only time Hamilton made big enough inroads into Alonso's lead was in traffic ... and that was swings and roundabouts (i.e. caught up 3 secs then lost them again).
With a clear track, after Alonso's first stop Hamilton was only 1-2tenths faster meaning even with 5 laps he had no chance. I think they called him in to stop him binning it, personally.
Alonso showed his World Championship class at Monaco. Hamilton will get his wrist smacked by Dennis for sure.
