Alonso and Hamilton took a one-two for McLaren - as Massa made a double-whopper botch of it. By MARK HUGHES The pieces slotted into place beautifully, made a madly exciting Sepang Sunday. The various circumstances of the weekend brought the race all the tension and excitement absent from Melbourne. Those circumstances were many, but central to them was a dramatic one-second-per-lap swing in McLaren's favour compared to the first race. At Sepang the MP4-22 was every bit as fast as the Ferrari - the same Ferrari that had been more than one second per lap ahead of the field in Melbourne. There are very solid technical reasons for this, but first the point needs to be made that those various elements were stitched together by a brilliant pair of drives from McLaren's Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton. Brilliant individually; brilliant as a combined force. © 2020 Autosport
