Absolutely Incorrect
Facts
1)Alonso ran wide atleast 4 times while trying to overtake Petrov. You tell me when does one run wide? When he is trying too hard or being too cautious
2)On 2 times, publicly broadcasted radio transmissions, Alonsos Engineer urged to use his talent which is too big (lol) to overtake Petrov. He then also urged him to overtake. You tell me why would the Ferrari pit urge Alonso to overtake and use his 'talent' (hidden) lol
3)Alonso was stuck behind Petrov for 40 laps. He knew he had to overtake him unless he has no chance. You tell me why he would drive conservatively.
4)Alonso's own words
"I tried to pass him once and he protected like it was the last lap, in the last race in the championship, fighting both for the championship, so he was very aggressive.
"But he drove very well, he made no mistakes. I think next year we will try again.

5)Throughout the 40 laps Alonso was behind Petrov he remained within 0.8 sec gap and more than half the time the gap was less than 0.5 sec. You tell me who the hell drives conservatively and still stays 0.5 sec behind the car ahead?
All these points conclude Alonso was in no way driving conservatively and even if he was (when he knew that he had to overtake in order to win WDC) then he is a moron and needs to be kicked out by Ferrari for letting go away WDC OR are you suggesting he drove conservatively because he did not wanted to win WDC....ROFL
Frankly I am disappointed by your analysis of Alonsos drive. I thought since you contribute alot here you must be too good but I am proven wrong. You have to hand it over to Petrov who drove brilliantly today
