Spanish GP - A bitter fifth place for Alonso the lion
Montmelo, 22 May – Fifth place for Fernando Alonso at the end of the Spanish Grand Prix, while Felipe Massa had to retire on lap 58 with an apparent gearbox problem. Fernando fought like a lion in the early stages, when after a fantastic start, he managed to lead the first 18 laps of the race. Then Fernando fought off Webber, but when the Australian passed him in the pit stops, there was a clear performance difference on the hard tyres. Fifth was the best he could do today.
Felipe defended his position on the soft, but he struggled even more than his team-mate with the hard tyres and was sliding out of the points places when he had to retire.
