You can say that FA woiuld have defended his lead. But Kimi's a racer too. Hed have hunted him down eventually and jumped him at the 2nd stop regardless.
Briatiore doesnt run race engineering on his own. And its better if your "Number 2" driver scores some points as it means it take them off your rivals.
Got a theory on the Moon Landings?
Your maths is wrong tho... 1st is 10 2nd 8 3rd 6 4th 5
As i proved above if alonso had finished 1st with Maccas 2nd and third the position would have been better in every way for renault, more points to Alonso and kimi falling behind AND less of a loss in the manufacturers standings. ( 4 against 7 )
Anyway, I know what some of you think and what I think so lets leave it at that...there's no denying the logic is there tho.
