We made the decision, said Alonso, trying to win the race and it did not work not because of strategy, but the tire degradation. Grosjean also admitted that once a pitstop, "Grosjean only do 55 laps with a tire right and good, we're just 45 laps. That's the key problem," said Alonso.
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Alonso is a circuit McLaren continued. Naturally, when you've won here. "But, all of it positive despite losing the second podium."
Fernando Alonso claimed the team's decision will not regret for not doing a second pitstop planned between lap 48 to lap 55 in the event the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday night (10/6) or early Monday. Although, he finally had to accept a disappointing outcome, which failed on the podium and finished fifth.
Ferrari's decision not to perform pitstop II was an act daring in pursuit of victory, but the calculation that has never been any F1 team in recent years. So, after the pitstop I, Alonso Ferrari F2012 equipped with soft compound tires that have a duration of 30 to 40 laps.
But, try forcing Alonso to Ferrari does not do the replacement (meaning the tires are forced around 50 laps) because of the time Hamilton entered the track (after the second tire change) was third. By calculation, the McLaren driver finished second and competing in the last lap.
In fact, Ferrari missed estimates. Hamilton with the MP4-27 is so powerful and Vettel and Alonso who was in front of it can be easily separated overtaken by lap 60. Leaving approximately 6 lap race, Vettel followed into the pits changing tires one lap later Alonso, thereby making the second and third position their property seized by Romain Grosjean (Lotus) and Simon Perez (Sauber) who was behind it."The decision to try to win the team is right, only the degraded condition of the tires. With 18 laps remaining when Hamilton entered the pits changing tires, and I stayed there behind Vettel. Or we stop and see what happens," recalled former world champion 2005 and 2006's.
Alonso adds, when he also entered the pits with Hamilton, he considered himself would finish fourth. But, "Being a big mistake again, if Grosjean is also subject to degradation, and we finished fourth," said the Spaniard.
