No one knows, he might crash out, get injured for the rest of the season and lose the championship.

Alonso was obviously cruising that race, but Giancarlo was visibly shaken when Kimi caught up with him. He was defending left and right, almost desperately. I thought he was going to crash at one point, as he almost overcooked a corner (can't remember where) while trying to defend. And on that last lap, a slight twitch from Kimi sends him veering wildly down the inside line to try to defend the corner. Brilliant psyche out from Kimi, poor defense from Giancarlo.
