F1 Japan GP comment

Ferrari did a great mistake with the strategy: starting with intermediate tyres was a big risk and Ferrari's drivers went out of track several times during the safety car laps! The email from FIA which constrained teams to start with full wet tyres arrived to Ferrari after the GP start! But this fact is only an extenuating circumstance to the big mistake of starting with intermediate tyres. Kimi Raikkonen did not succeed to overtake Kovalainen in the last laps, losing the last chances to win the Drivers' Championship.
Fernando Alonso did a mistake due to the tenseness but also to some aerodynamics problems on his car, caused by a previous collision with Vettel. Lewis Hamilton was very able to manage such a difficult race but he was very lucky too because he had no damage in a collision with Kubica.
