Every time Hamilton set a fast lap Alonso beat it in the race. Alonso had Lewis covered throughout the whole race.
Plus, do you really believe Hamilton could have passed Alonso ??? especially as there was only one pass on track all race.
As a McLaren fan I watched most of the race waiting for one or other car to fly off into a barrier, both drivers were at it 100% for the first 60 laps (regardless of what Dennis said afterwards), both in the 15s and 16s when all around were in the 17s or 18s, but at no time did I think Hamilton could win.
Hamilton has shown Alonso and Dennis that he can at least match Alonso for speed over one lap ( his qually3 time being within 2/10ths of Alonso with 3-5 more laps worth of fuel and being held up by Webber(?) but Lewis is still short of pace throughout a race......not bad for a rookie though
