The day Alonso Sunday very clearly knew to surpass to Hamilton in the released one would be key to defeat it. And thus it was as it tried it to the Spanish, although without success. Alonso probably divided hardly a little better than the Briton and managed to equal it in the breaking of the first curve, but an abrupt movement of Hamilton towards the side of Alonso confused the Spanish whom it preferred to avoid an incident with his companion and encolumnó secondly. Alonso did not forget its error in the first curve of Canada one week ago either back. “I did not win, but really I can leave Indianapolis with a trophy. I believe that the race was decided after the first curve, and could not surpass it. Everything what could make era maintain to me more close possible of Lewis. We were even to pair in an occasion, but everything was right and allowed, it was a good race”, it said Fernando Alonso bruptly.Behind the leaders it happened an incident that involved the Toyota of Ralf Schumacher, to Red Bull de David Coulthard (added his fifth abandonment of the season) and to the Honda of Rubens Barrichello. The three pilots had to leave immediately. In as much the newcomer Sebastian Vettel, that replaced the Pole Robert Kubica, he had to cut the first curve after arriving very past at the same.

During the first part of the race Fernando Alonso it followed very of near his coequiper Hamilton, but the surprising seriousness of the Briton neutralized any type of action from the Spanish. More back Felipe Massa maintained to a reasonable difference in relation to the pair of McLaren, whereas his companion Kimi Räikkönen looked for to recover positions after losing two places in the game at the hands of Nick Heidfeld and its compatriot Heikki Kovalainen. Kimi was the unique pilot of the leaders who decided on hard tires.With few probabilities of advancing to his coequiper in track, Alonso considered that the first resupply of both would be crucial. Hamilton was the first one in resupplying itself, but as soon as a return later followed Alonso. When returning to track Fernando one was again secondly, although much more near Hamilton.The traffic in track began to play bad a past one to him the Hamilton novice who ran into with a nourished squad of competitors who disputed positions as well to each other. The majority of the pilots yielded the passage without problems to the pilots of McLaren, but Vitantonio Liuzzi, of Toro Rosso, seemed not to warn to Hamilton in its rear-view mirrors and obstructed the rate of the Briton in a pair of curves. It was as well as Alonso was placed hand in the main straight line by hand when return 39 mediated, and tried to advance to Hamilton by the external side. The Briton demanded the breaking to the maximum and avoided the amble of the Spanish.From Alonso he preferred there to follow of near his coequiper and he did not return to never attack it more. Again the Spanish chose to try to advance it in boxes and increased his rate to the maximum not to lose stepped on Lewis to him. But unfortunately the bichampion confused slightly in one of the curves and obtained that Hamilton removed two seconds to him and average from advantage. After the second resupply the positions stayed again.

But behind the tandem Hamilton/Alonso also there was fight between the pilots of Ferrari. Räikkönen was able to get rid of Heidfeld and Kovalainen and on the end of the competition was by its teammate Felipe Massa. In spite of being much more quick that the Brazilian, the Finn of Ferrari could not advance it. “The car had a very good rate of race, but I paid the price of the lost positions in the released one. We wasted a precious time with the slowest cars and it is always difficult to advance, because when you approach a car you lose much aerodynamic load. Towards the end, I approached Felipe, but never I had a clear opportunity as to pass it and both we thought about the next race, in which we will use the same motor. We must improve, especially in classification, because our objective is to win”, explained Räikkönen.The German Nico Rosberg, of Williams Toyota, bet to a single resupply and easily he could have finished seventh but for the breakage of its motor to only four returns of the end. His Alexander, teammate Wurz, arrived tenth after to have carried out an intense duel with the Renault de Giancar it Fisichella.On the other hand Heikki Kovalainen continues silencing the ferocious criticisms spilled envelope he during the first race of the season, after to have finalized again in the points, fifth, surpassing clearly this weekend to his coequiper Giancar it Fisichella. The Italian committed an error and he confused early. After good overcome a Physical one it arrived ninth outside the zone of points.

“This it was another strong result for me, and I am beginning to have a good gust of wind. I had a good one released, and when other cars were by inside, I restrained behind schedule by the outer limit and could advance to Räikkönen. I behind maintained it until the first shutdown in boxes, and when it entered along with Heidfeld, I tried to secure the greater possible advantage. Not even it had given account me that was leading the race until I entered boxes. Unfortunately, the yield of the tires got worse, and I lost positions with Heidfeld and Räikkönen in when they returned to the track. I tried to happen to Nick in the entrance of curve four but I could not obtain it and soon the tires were worn away express, because the car slid much when it went in his wake. But I continued pressing and when one only retired had to continue rendering to the maximum and to maintain the times of return consistent”, it ended up saying Heikki.Jarno Trulli concluded sixth after to have battled during all the race with Red Bull de Mark Webber. The pilot of Toyota used a strategy very similar to the one of Webber and in more than an occasion he had to abruptly close the line to him to the man of Red Bull.After the abandonment of Nico Rosberg, the German Sebastian Vettel obtained a point in his first participation in Formula 1. The pilot of 19 years and 11 months only became the youngest runner in scoring in his debut, something never before seen in the history of the maximum category.

“It has been a fantastic race, very funny, but longer than it hoped. I believe that I have luck enough of to have gained a point, sight the incident of the first curve. My exit does not have been bad, but he has not been shining. When I have seen that the cars were closely together, I have decided to worry the braking a little and to return to take the aspiration of which it had ahead. In order to avoid an incident, I have decided to shorten in the second curve and am lost many positions. Later, when seeing me surrounded by so many cars, our strategy has practically come down. It is well finishing the first race, and better still scoring. The car has worked well. I could have gone a little more express, but I have been slowed down by the other cars in enough occasions, and here it is most difficult to advance, since the others do not relax and know to defend themselves. In the end, when I have seen the flag pictures, I have felt alleviated enough. I am glad for me and the equipment, has done that it of wonder. I only can give thanks to the mechanics and engineers who have helped me”, said Vettel.The Briton Anthony Davidson, of Super Aguri, made an excellent race winning positions from the bottom of grilla to finish eleventh. Davidson surpassed on the end to Honda the official car of Jenson Button, whereas it competes with evolution 2006 of the Japanese manufacturer. Something difficult at the present time to believe and a serious call of attention for escudería Honda.

“It was an interesting race, with the different speeds from the cars in the straight lines and the curves due to the levels of aerodynamic load. We choose to take care of the tires running with a little more load and was a very arduous work to try to close the distance and to be able to enter the suction in the straight line. There were many advancements, with chaotic a first curve. It was a fantastic race and I amused much. Very I am satisfied to finish another Great Prize and this it is a great result for the equipment and Honda. It was a shining day”, showed Anthony.Local pilot Scott Speed arrived thirteenth with his Toro Rosso, only in front of the Spyker de Sutil and Albers.Hamilton finally headed the third 1-2 of McLaren of the season.

“This is put every time better - it has been one week incredible. I cannot think that it has won and incredibly I am been thankful to the equipment that has worked very it last to do this 1-2 of today. Everything has come out well; the released one, the shutdowns in boxes, the strategy, I am really happy. I was under pressure all along with Fernando and both we pressed so it last as it were possible to us. I did a good one released, maintaining the advantage, but Fernando was there. In the second part, Fernando could approach when my tires accused a wearing down, and was much closely together to pass me in the straight line, but I could maintain it behind me. It has been a length and warm day, but I have enjoyed really it, and also the support of fans”, commented an euphoric Hamilton.In the championship of Hamilton conductors now it surpasses Fernando Alonso by 10 points.
