Alonso: Second shows Ferrari closing

Fernando Alonso described splitting the Red Bulls in the European Grand Prix as a 'great achievement' for Ferrari, and evidence that the team is getting much closer to winning. Alonso moved up to third at the start and had a race-long battle with Mark Webber's Red Bull - passing it on track in the second stint, falling behind again at the second pitstops, and then finally taking the place for good during the final pit sequence. "It was an interesting race for the fans and people on TV, to see the fight with Webber all the race through," said Alonso
