"On supersofts Alonso's style is working better"

The first 12 minutes after the track opens and no-one has yet completed a flying lap. Most have done their installations - Lewis Hamilton extrovertly sideways well before the first swimming pool apex - but are now waiting in the garages for the track to get hotter.
