I think thats a rather unfair comparison between Kimi and Alonso. The circumstances are so different between Kimi starting from behind and Alonso starting from 10th.
Anyways, its rather interesting having Mclaren and Ferrari battling out each other race by race. Its never predictable, especially Kimi fighting back after the USGP where it was thought Mclaren will continue to dominate. Ferrari obviously got their development right after the test while Mclaren probably sandbagged a little. Again, i expect Ferrari to win in Silverstone simply because there wasn't enough testing time between the French GP and Silverstone and that Mclaren are probably one or 2 tenths slower this time around.
I feel the gap isn't that big during the French GP, between Ferrari and Mclaren. Mclaren got it all wrong in the pit strategy where clearly 2 stop was the way to go. With 3 stops, Ham had to fight his way thru the back markers traffic and he kept coming out at the wrong time. Similarly, Alonso too haven't had much luck with the traffic and he was super busy thruout the race trying to overtake someone.
But thats not the excuse for Mclaren's failure to win. End of the day, they were just not quick enough to challenge Ferrari.
