Fernando Alonso's Ferrari Blog - May 30, 2011 :
http://www.ferrari.com/English/Scuderia/Blogs/Alonso/archive/2011/05/30/i-tried-to-the-very-end.aspx
Alonso says "Vettel ends up winning a race in which we felt there was a chance of victory".
Alonso also implies that Silverstone will be the race at which they'll decide whether or not to not necessessarily "throw in the towel" per se', but to judge whether or not continue fighting for the 2011 WDC.
Montreal, in my view, will be RBR's Achilles Heel because it lacks really fast, sweeping bends and is mostly fast straights and hard-breaking, slow hairpins and corners. Also, the compounds being taken by Pirelli won't disadvantage the likes of Ferrari as was the case in Spain.
If, however, Vettel out-scores Alonso in Canada, then do you think Ferrari should throw in the towel on the 2011 WDC and focus on 2012?
Indeed, Alonso needs 25 points in Canada...and right now i'm placing my money on Hamilton who has a tendency to bounce back hard from tough races. Plus Montreal suits McLaren.
Alonso not only needs to out-score Vettel in Montreal, he needs to make sure Hamilton doesn't lead a McLaren 1-2 like the Englishman did last year.
If Ferrari don't score big points in Canada, should they still continue to put resources into 2011...or should they then shift more resources into 2012?
Thoughts?
