A tear from tiredness. Yeah I mentioned in my thread that it could have been a dummy signal to Mclaren, Alonso is a very clever and talented driver though, his car is the factor that is letting him down and making him "give up". He should follow Michael Schumacher's work ethic when he was going through tough times in Ferrari between '96 and '00 "never give up"...
Didn't sound upset to me, but more realistic that if he pushed any harder he might not even finish with a lack of fuel etc...
Racing tough is the best way to put that. Just like the Senna-Prost era, he only learnt from the best.

Usually when it comes to best rookie the immediate choice is between Di Resta or Perez, but let's not forget the excellent job by Ricciardo today. Limited useful running in practice, unable to qualify - but ended up beating Liuzzi and D'Ambrosio. It's not easy getting into a car mid-season (especially a **** one). Ricciardo did very well today.
Best Driver: Alguersuari Worst Driver: Petrov, I'm sorry to say Best Rookie: Senna Best Team: Toro Rosso Worst Team: Sauber Best Overtake: Jaime on Nico, last lap Funniest-moment: Nothing Most Surprising Result: Kovalainen beats both Saubers Least Surprising Result: Vettel, yet again Special Mention to: Lewis for his flawless defence and calm under pressure Race Rating: 5/10... But was it the race or the coverage?
Best Driver: Alguersuari Worst Driver: Petrov Best Rookie: Di Resta Best Team: Torro Rosso Worst Team: Sauber Best Overtake: The whole Hamilton/Webber battle that carried on through about a dozen corners was excellent! Funniest-moment: Ted Kravitz announcing that Kovalainen was doing a 1 stop race and wouldn't stop again only to be told by DC that Kovi was in for his 2nd stop! Most Surprising Result: Ummm...?
