Not many would 've liked it, but the truth is, Fernando Alonso has won the GP this weekend.
McLaren were slated to win eight points, as Felipe Massa was a notch faster than Alonso. But then came that final rain shower, a set of tyres for Massa that vibrated badly, and suddenly the world champion went home with a 10-point haul.
Australian Mark Webber was third for Red Bull Racing. Massa’s teammate Kimi Raikkonen started from pole position but his poor record on the German circuit continued as he was forced to retire after 34 laps.
It was also a tough weekend for leader Hamilton who finished ninth. A bad crash in qualifying left Hamilton starting from tenth on the grid and his record run of nine podium finishes in nine races was always likely to end after he spun off the track early on. Hamilton’s Mclaren was eventually lifted back onto the track by a crane but the rookie rejoined the race at the back of the field, a lap behind and with too much ground to make up.
