Alonso drove an exceptional race, coped with the pressure brilliantly, and delivered just like a Champion should.

Agree generally, except with "No doubt he was quicker than Alonso". There is doubt, Alonso had eight of the top ten fastest laps. It almost seemed to me that Alonso chose to be faster when he wanted to be. The beginning of the race, the stints and then when Hamilton got a tad close after Alonso's tardy laps.
