"No wonder Fernando Alonso is looking forward to the 2011 rule changes . If this year's cars had the moveable rear wings set for the new F1 season, it's very likely the Ferrari driver would have won the championship instead of Sebastian Vettel.Had Alonso had the moveable rear wing at this year's final race in Abu Dhabi, he would have been able to overtake Vitaly Petrov's Renault and would have been in a position to challenge Nico Rosberg's Mercedes for the fourth place he needed to win the title. But while the new driver-adjusted bodywork comes too late for Alonso's 2010 campaign, next year's rule changes (including the return of the Kers energy storage and power boost systems) are set to make overtaking considerably easier and have a big impact on race strategies and, ultimately, championship results."
First of all in Abu Dhabi, Ferrari was foolished clearly by RedBull's strategy and that's why Alonso lost, but let's say that Alonso would have overtaken Petrov - in front of him would have been Robert Kubica wich is not very easy to beat; and if he would have overtake Kubica, Nico Rosberg would had a 8 second advantage. The only way that Alonso would have won the championship was a restart of the race after Webber and Fernando came out of the pits.
And that thing: "If this year's cars had the moveable rear wings set for the new F1 season, it's very likely the Ferrari driver would have won the championship instead of Sebastian Vettel"...why???
If Alonso had driver-adjusted bodywork earlier, he still had three riders in front of which two were Kubica and Rosberg and i remaind that Nico had an 8 seconds advantage. So Fernando Alonso would have need a miracle or much more laps than were designed.

Massa - Alonso is faster than you (parody)
Last year on the lap 47 in Hockenheim Massa’s race engineer, Rob Smedley, came on the radio to deliver the news to Felipe: “OK, so, Fernando is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?” (The Italian team were fined $100,000 for that team order)

About Alonso and his ''prize''...
As you may know, in December last year, Alonso won votes from twelve F1 Teams as been the best driver of the 2010 season in Autosport magazine.
I don't know if those formula 1 teams are just irritated of RBR strategies or RBR chassis..or RBR drivers, but i know that a great driver is fantastic when is riding like nobody his car on a track, but also when he find the best set up of the car together with the team for one or other cirucuit. Is clearly that Vettel asumed a lot of risks durring the 2010 championship setting up his car to the limit, driving like a ''crazy'' and some times it cost him the race. Anyway crazy of the year goes to Hamilton.
Now i don't say that Alonso isn't a great driver(we saw a lot of take outs achieved in 2010 by Fernando), even i don't say is antipathetic(antipathetic was De La Rosa with his statements about his Sauber-someone feeds you and you talk bad about the team ?!?, or Rosberg with his photo's from his official site :) seems more like La saga Crepusculo actor).
Anyway at that poll from Autosport magazine, Vettel was a close second after Fernando Alonso, while Nico Hulkenberg was the only rookie in the top ten.
