Canadian GP - Ferrari fights back – Alonso second, Massa eighth

Montreal, 9 June
GP CANADA F1/2013
The Scuderia Ferrari pairing of Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa finished the Canadian Grand Prix in second and eighth places respectively. This result move the Spaniard back into second in the Drivers’ classification.

When the lights went out, Alonso made up one place to fifth, while Massa began moving up the order from 16th place with several passing moves. On lap 16, Fernando switched from Supersoft to Medium tyres, with Felipe coming in on the next lap, fitting another set of the softer rubber.

In the second stint, Alonso passed Rosberg’s Mercedes on lap 30, then Webber in the Red Bull on lap 42, when Massa made his second stop to fit the Mediums. Alonso’s final pit stop was on lap 47 after which he rejoined behind Hamilton in the Mercedes, who had been second right from the start.

Alonso pulled a spectacular move on the Englishman in the braking zone for turn 1 on lap 63, holding him off after that to the flag to take a second place which was his just reward for such an attacking race. There was plenty of excitement from Massa in the closing stages too, as he finally won his duel with Raikkonen in the Lotus to take eighth place on the last lap. Sebastian Vettel won the race for Red Bull.
