While undeniably Ferrari had almost bullet proof reliability I'm sure that Red Bull has lost more points due to reliability issues. It is not all about the number of laps done.

Great reliability for Ferrari. Unfortunately, too many of those laps completed saw the Ferraris too far back. It must be said, though, that their reliability belies any talk about Latin lack of organizational skill.

Not a very meaningful metric, if you ask me. What difference does it matter if the car fails on the first lap rather than the last? And how many engines does Alonso have left? Seems that the article sort of misses the point.

indeed i agree with that. Afterall ferrari were allowed to change their engines due to reliability issues, well if you see the graph then anyone would say that it isnt fair as the ferrari is the most reliable.
