Who says team orders are dead? Fisichella passed Alonso on the straight and immediately let him re-pass to stay in front of Schu. How did Alonso manage to find the pace to do that? Alonso was crawling around like a bug; he had no grip at that point. That was a team order.
Other than blatant team orders, magnificient race! The 1993 European GP at Donington still is my favourite race, but this was classic. Schu was absolutely unbelievable in the conditions. I can't think of another driver not named Senna who could drive that car the way he did in those conditions.
Why did Alonso push so hard at the end? The outcome was decided. He was down 20 sec. with 13 laps to go. He got it to 3 because Schu switched down the revs. I hope he pays for this at Suzuka. Alonso drove poorly. He had an off track excursion at the beginning of the race and he destroyed his front tyres, forcing the change. He lost it for himself as much as Renault blew it for him!
