McLaren lockout! With Massa p3....Alo p10, not sure what happened there, he was looking very strong but just didn't benefit from "the tow" on the final run...

Ferrari's strategy was terrible and risky...it paid off for Massa, and hurt Alonso. They would have been better off not using that silly tandem strategy that works 1 out of 10 times.

If he knew something dropped (broken rear roll bar) on the first lap of Q3 for Alonso, why would he run so many laps and use up 2 sets of tires (assuming he changed tires the second time out)??? I don't think he's lying, but the decision-making still doesn't make sense to me.

But if it happened on lap 1...why run 3 half-ass laps? Why run 2 more laps after that? I don't understand why he couldn't "throw in a decent enough time" during that first run and call it a day? If he wanted the mechanics to check the car for safety reasons to know he could push harder, he should have came in immediately when it happened instead of riding around with Massa for a few worthless laps. That's my gripe.

Some weird body language going on between button n Hamilton. It'd be epic hilarious if both McLaren's take each other out at turn 1 senna and Prost style and Massa wins at Monza

I'm counting on ham's boneheadedness and inner diva to make that happen.

The cars are in Parc Ferme conditions after the end of FP3. He couldn't have changed anything without taking a penalty even if he wanted to.
