    From the podium, Alonso dropped the customary champagne bottle to his chief mechanic, who drops it and it breaks. Bad end to a worse day.

    Guess who noticed, and oh so carefully dropped his champagne bottle to his chief mechanic?

    That chief mechanic, Ferrari's Michele Giuntoli, caught the bottle and the entire team celebrated!!

    It was clearly the mechanic's fault...not Alonsos...

    Ferrari secretly coated the Renault champagne bottle with grease. Just ask Flavio.

    C'mon guys, you know the bottle broke because it doesn't handle the same with the mass damper system removed.

    Great race though..................Go Ferrari

    I heard Alonso is blaming the Mumm vineyard for giving him a less aerodynamic package...
