I don't like having two drivers from the same team.

At some point soon, Ferrari is going to have to make a decision about who they are going to favor for the championship.

I would put money on that being Alonso.

Alonso's reply was "I don't want to know."

It is funny because he and Lewis used to be teammates. Their relationship resulted in Alonso leaving the team after only one season. It was filled with acrimony.

During the race, Lewis was gaining on all the leaders. Alonso didn't even want to know how close Lewis was. I think it was too much for him just then.

Hamilton would eventually pass Alonso before crashing and falling back to 6th again.

Say what you will about Alonso but yesterday's performance was epic he came back from dead last and both the Mclaren's and The RBR's were faster and he finished 4th.
Button is the luckiest Mother F*&%ker on earth the decision to switch to slicks was at the perfect time

I think you are right about not having two from the same team, but at this point with Ferrari being so strong, it's too early not to have them both in your team imo.

What worries me a bit is Vettel having technical problems two times in a row.......

Alonso was the best not only that he came back from the last till fourth he actually helped Massa holding back Rosberg and Hamilton cuz these dogs would have passed Massa easily

Unlike Bahrain, This race showed how human Ferrari is. Alonso was pretty much untouchable after Vettel's engine troubles, setting fastest laps despite being 7+ seconds ahead of his 2nd placed teammate. In Austrailia, He fought well, but his car(even more for Massa's) was no match for RBR and McLaren imo.

I wonder if this is just a sign of whats to come?
