Alonso wins German Grand Prix
By collecting 10 points for his sixth victory of the season, Alonso has 87 points, followed by Raikkonen (51) and seven-time champion Michael Schumacher (47), who finished fifth. There are seven races remaining. Raikkonen may have the fastest car in the field, but it hasn't been reliable. This is the third time this season he has dropped out while leading a race. "It's always terrible to retire from a race, but to retire while in the lead with a good gap to the No. 2 car is even worse," Raikkonen said. "This is the worst thing that could have happened as it looked like the race was in the bag." "There is still a mathematical chance that I can win the championship, but it's getting difficult," he added. Starting from dead-last, Montoya treated second place like a victory. "I hope the result made up a bit for the mistake I made yesterday," Montoya said. "It was a fantastic day," Alonso added. "I had a perfect race, the balance of the car was perfect from the beginning." "After the retirement of Kimi, well, it was boring, I had such a big lead." "Obviously, they (McLaren) are quicker than us, but a race is 70 laps, to 30," Alonso said. Alonso covered the 67 laps on the 5.574-kilometer (2.842-mile) Hockenheim
circuit in 1 hour, 26 minutes, 28.599 seconds, for an average speed of 212.629
kph (132.13 mph). Montoya was 22.5 seconds behind and Button 24.4 seconds
adrift.
