Strategy wins it...

Fernando Alonso won the first GP of the year, ahead of Schumi, who despite being on pole and leading for most of the race, came out behind Alonso after the second pit stop.

Full marks to the Renault team for a superb strategy and to Alonso for making the strategy work. This is Ferrari getting a taste of it's own medicine, having won on the back of great strategy for quite a few years.

What I do have a problem with is hypocrisy. While it is OK for other drivers to win because of good pit lane strategy, it is not OK for Schumi to do so. A lot of my pals (and we are great friends, just warring tribes when it comes to F1 and Soccer) would be applauding the strategic win for Alonso, but have cried foul when Schumi pulled off a similar win.

Don't you think that having dual standards is pathetic?

So it's OK for everyone else to do it, but not Schumi. It's the typical "Support the underdog" mentality.

You can see from my post that I am seething about the loss yesterday, but then again, we didn't exactly lose.

After all, the season is not about one race.
