Alonso says they were lucky

Fernando Alonso realizes that luck can play a part of any F1 race but he is also keen enough to hunt for that luck. As was the situation in Today’s Spanish Grand Prix. Felipe Massa a serious lack of fuel that left him limping home on fumes and Fernando capitalized on that slow pace to reach and pass Massa for a coveted 5th place for Renault.

Alonso said, We were a bit lucky, and the car was good during the whole race so we could.

In the end we saw that we weren’t so light. he Brawns stopped ahead of us and the Toyotas too, so the strategy worked well.

He said, I only had a problem, which was a puncture. I was scheduled to stop on lap 45 but had to stop on lap 41, but I managed to stay ahead of Rosberg and nothing changed much.

A great and interesting race to watch tomorrow.
