I went to bed at 10:30 and woke up at 3:45 so I could watch it. A 4am start is too late for me to stay up and watch.

Anyways, Ferrari won that one on strategy. Alonso kept his nose clean and was able to capitalize on McLaren's mistakes. The rain really equalized things too as the crappy Ferrari chassis is good in the wet, especially with Alonso at the wheel.

Perez... in a perfect world he'd have passed Alonso for the win. But, even if he didn't make a mistake he wouldn't have won. He'd have stuck right behind Alonso to bring it home in second place. There's no way he'd jeopardize his chances at taking Massa's seat by passing his future teammate for the win. And there's no way Ferrari would have allowed it to happen.
