Yes, but Kimi and Felipe had their own tactics and it worked that way. I'm not saying that it was unfair!!! But I think that Alonso never had any freedom to prepare races by his own. He shared data with Hamilton, he shared set-ups many times and after all the team denied to give him the opportunity to prepare races instead of qualifying sessions (that at the end also raised that extra lap issue which deteriorated even more the relationship between them...and after China qualifying opening the possibility to speculate about tire pressure and so on...). This is what I've heard Alonso complain about, not that bullsh*t of nÂș1 driver that most of the british media claim (and also Lewis) but I've never heard (in fact, you generally accuse him of this) him saying that a n1 driver status was never in the agenda.
