Thanks guys... I have gotten the info, and it's pretty interesting. It looks like be4 the safety car, Alonso's lap times were on par with Vettel and Webber, just after the safety car, from lap 42 till lap 58 every car was getting faster and faster as the fuel load got lighter, and Alonso only had marginal gain in lap times but wasn't able to go below 1.30 I am sure some of the problem was he could not use drs with Maldonado up his ass, and he was being conservative just trying to bring it home and not get pipped by Maldonado who had a faster car at the end (could use DRS).

All in all Alonso was about .4 sec per lap slower than LH in the first two stints on clear laps. That isn't bad at all.

Ferrari has got to gain .5-.6 seconds and they will be able to fight for the top spots.

They know what to work on.... traction, fix the exhaust to gain some downforce and reduce rear wing incidence at that point to get some better top speed.
Rosberg was the fastest, with a whopping 12kmph better top speed compared to Massa.
