Talking Points: Behind the scenes of the US GP
Adam Cooper brings exclusive insight into the United States Grand Prix weekend - from Bridgestone's advantage, through Alonso's slump, to Trulli's emergence
I've never been brave (or perhaps stupid) enough to bet on a Grand Prix result, but I'm kicking myself a bit after last weekend. Prior to Canada, Fernando Alonso had expressed his fear that Renault would lose out badly to Ferrari in the North American races, and it would be a case of damage limitation.
In fact, in Montreal it was the other way round, as Michael Schumacher overcame dire troubles on Friday to eventually salvage second place. However, there were signs that Alonso was right to be worried, and guess what? At Indianapolis, Ferrari found not a little but a lot more speed from the tyres, and Renault were left trailing.
