Crash test dummy

McLaren's reliability problems are not yet over. From the way Kimi Räikkönen crashed out on the last lap of the race he had dominated, it is clear that they need to improve. With Fernando Alonso breathing down his neck - though he wasn't quite that close - the Finn seems to have pushed his car beyond its limits, as he was prone to do in the past few years.

On the other hand, it also means that Alonso is one race closer to winning the Championship this season. Kimi would have done well to keep the title open by winning those 10 points. It would have taken away a little more attention from the two scarlet cars that finished in the top five.
