Webber's finally got some pace! Nico's back in front of The Chin! I may actually get a decent team result!

I'm exhausted. I was told after the race that my car had suffered a rear anti-roll bar failure a few laps into the second stint. It was safe to drive - and I was trying my best with it, pushing all the way - but it was extremely hard to maintain a good pace. The balance was switching from corner to corner, the car was moving around along the straights, and it was eating up the tyres, which meant we lost further ground by being forced onto a three-stop strategy. To make things even more difficult, I then picked up some stray run-off Astroturf, which tangled itself around my sideboard winglet for the final few laps. It stalled the diffuser - so I had no rear downforce at the end, which made it even trickier to hang on to 10th place.

Massa faster than Fred. Hope that happens continually.

For the rest of this year, it won't matter. Ferrari will never allow Massa to stay ahead of Alonso. Even Massa himself said after Korea, he has no problem supporting Alonso's bid for the title.

However, it is nice to see Massa getting his speed and confidence back. Will be very interesting to see what happens next year.

But isn't that only if they have to swap positions? I don't see them say moving Massa to 4th from 2nd to get Alonso to 3rd.
