Spanish GP - A bitter fifth place for Alonso the lion

Fifth place for Fernando Alonso at the end of the Spanish Grand Prix, while Felipe Massa had to retire on lap 58 with an apparent gearbox problem. Fernando fought like a lion in the early stages, when after a fantastic start, he managed to lead the first 18 laps of the race. Then Fernando fought off Webber, but when the Australian passed him in the pit stops, there was a clear performance difference on the hard tyres. Fifth was the best he could do today.
Felipe defended his position on the soft, but he struggled even more than his team-mate with the hard tyres and was sliding out of the points places when he had to retire.
