What was Alonso talking about? Michael pulling out of the pit-lane right in front of him? Surely, though, Michael had no option: the lollipop man told him to go, so he went. Michael really couldn’t see what was going on behind him – Massa was there. If anyone is to blame, it’s the lollipop man who knew he had to get Michael out first. So, what was Alonso talking about? Maybe he saw a replay of Michael’s slippy entrance to the pit-lane on a big screen as he was doing his warm-up lap and was just wondering what it was all about? Unlikely, but still possible…

Whatever the case, both incidents show us two great champions fighting for this year’s championship right on the limit of their abilities. Today’s race, and the rest of the season, can only get better.
