Everybody coming in for fresh tires under the SC except Alonso? Hope that is not a mistake.

edit: no i don't think so actually

works out for Alonso more than anything. God his getting some luck this year - he truly must have magic dust
I don't think so – I think Alonso is the only one who still has to pit now.
you could be right actually. Either pit or Canada again?

Announcement was just made in the suites:

"Race time left 43 minutes"

They won't make it to 61 laps

If Alonso loses positions from that, definitely Ferrari SUCK at strategies

No, so unfortunately a good call from Ferrari as those tyres won't need to finish the race distance.

As for mclaren, there not a championship winning team, there record shows that and there ability to always --- up any given situation.
Then maybe you should have a look at this:

Sure he has been lucky, but luck favors the prepared. And nobody is better prepared than Alonso.
Those stats mean nothing by themselves.

They don't tell you that the very reason he has many of the points he has is other cars/pit crews in front of his have had TERRIBLE unreliability, regardless of what the other drivers were doing.

Even today he's been gifted a podium due to other teams technical faults.
