Now that you mentioned it, that incident was really amusing. It was one of the unusual entertaining moments.

Fisichella couldn't believe that Alonso was THAT slow, he nearly collided at Alonso's rear end at the turn because he was coming up too fast.

And then, for nearly a mile or two while blocking Schumacher, you can tell that Fisichella was having second thoughts whether to pass Alonso or not (I think the Renault pit crew was slow to radio him that Alonso was in trouble and it was okay to pass him). Any normal F1 car would easily slingshot itself pass a slow moving car such as this (and even considering this was his teammate and Alonso was not even blocking him). So the trio was stuck in a blocking game for a few miles until Fisichella took the cue and rocketed himself pass Alonso.

That incident was funny to me because I remembered those people who were allergic to team orders, and here you are in broad daylight. This is the first time I enjoyed watching this Shanghai GP. I generally don't like the circuit. It's too wide and there are no interesting landscape or whatsoever.
