i agree there, Alonso is taking the maximum of every opportunity this year and it's paying off so far, now the team need to step up and give him a consistent car for the remaining races, he'll do his job.
about Schumacher Senna, i think the same, Senna move under the brakin which i think they've talked a lot during past years about avoiding it, if you want to move, do it before the breaking, but Senna went to the inside, and Michael tried to position the car on the outside to continue the attack on the other corners, every driver did it the whole race, but Senna then under the breaking area aimed the car slightly to the outside, Michael was commited already so he aimed to the inside, but Senna then stayed there..
imo Senna was the biggest clown of this weekend.
also last year the incident Schumacher mentions he did something similar, he waived under braking
