Maldonado was all over the place all race, he has absolutely terrible car control and once you go off track, you have to slot in behind. He was lucky to get such a light punishment, especially since this is his 3rd time this year to use his car as a weapon.
Congrats to Alonso. Of all the drivers he is definitely the most shrewd. He with Ferrari are pulling off results that really shouldn't be possible.

Well said. Very unfortunate for Hamilton, it was definitely Maldonado's fault, considering that he was re-joining the track and had run-off space to the left (he didn't HAVE to run into Hamilton). Also disappointing for Grosjean, who looked good for a podium and possibly even a win?
Alonso was brilliant today. To come from 11th to 1st at VALENCIA, of all places...that is something very special. I don't want to jinx him, but this really is increasingly looking like his season. All Ferrari has to do is give him a consistently quick car, and he will deliver.
