Alonso took advantage of the SC which closed the gap with the midfielders (was 10th or just outside the pts at the time - not exactly sure).
However, the were so many incidents from there on out - RAI retirement, (several drive through penalties - HAM/ROS) etc. etc. that he starts to get bumped up from 10th.. 8th... 6th.. and finally 5th.
Had some nice coverage of him going wheel to wheel w/ Sainz in the TR at some point. He showed some speed but nothing to challenge the usual suspects (Ferrari, Merc, RB).. HAM would've passed him had the race gone on for another lap.
