However, there was bitter disappointment for Fernando Alonso, who had looked very fast in three practive sessions but must start from 15th on the grid.
The Spaniard's Renault cut out midway through the second qualifying session leaving Alonso with little alternative but to abandon the car.
"The race is lost. You can't overtake here and I'm starting from 15th, so I will be going out just to lap the track, but it's over already," he said.
What a defeatist. It ain't over till it's over he should know that.
Typical for Alonso, he has no talent/skill worthy of a Champion, he can only win with superior car or position, he is just making his pre-race excuses for not winning the GP. Somehow he thinks the whole world is against him and it will NEVER be his fault for not winning, it will either be the car, the engine, the opposition, the weather, the sun's position, the moon phase or any combinations of the above's fault.

I have a feeling today's race will see a lot of collisions into walls and into each other. It's a very bumpy track in places which will make things unpredictable. Alonso should be more optimistic and positive - if he stays out of trouble, he could actually rise quite high up by the end of the race.

Once again I stand correct, Alonso cannot win without luck and help He really should thank NP Jr, if not for him, he would not have won. He also show how much of a spoiled brat and lack of immaturity in him in the post race ceremony, Hamilton gave him a pat on the back for a job well done, he simply ignores him and pretends nothing happened.

Alonso won. Truly fantastic drive by him!

Alonso's win was a strange one in a strange race. He won fair and square - except for the fact that he was pitting during the Safety Car, and everyone else who pitted in the same period got penalized. Not him.
Somebody please tell me why not?
Even Renault themselves told him over the radio, that they expected a Stop & Go penalty.
Unless Renault plan on every race being as chaotic as this, I dont see them getting close to the podium or 1st place again this season, but nice to see a new team at the top.

I think that we dont know half of what's been going on between Hamilton and Alonso - Alonos may be immature, but I am equally sure that Hamilton does whatever it takes to appear politically correct and "nice", but underneath the surface I am convinced that he is very focussed on what serves HIM better, be it on the track or outside.
I think Alonso hates Hamilton's guts, he just sucks at playing the PR game, and Hamilton is like a fish in the water when it comes to appearing "nice".
Except when his polished surface cracks and the ego-monster comes out and tells everyone that he is the best driver in the world, Kimi has bo balls and what else he has told the press

Poor Hamilton.... if Alonso signs one day with Ferrari.
It wouldn't change a thing since when he was at Maclren both him and Hamilton had the best car available, so they've already gone head to head. And this year Mclaren has the best engine with a very competitive car that's better than the F2008 in wet.
Quote:
Alonso after Hamilton gets penalized in Spa:
"We cannot forget that these escape roads are just in case, just for safety.
"We need to think that every time a guy goes on this extra asphalt, maybe there was a wall there before; if there was a wall Lewis would have crashed there.
"So he needed to step down, to do the chicane properly, and try to overtake in the next two or three corners or the next lap.
"I agree with the stewards this time - sometimes not, but this time yes."
