The strong race pace Ferrari have shown this year was conspicuously absent in Spain.

Fernando Alonso led at the start but ended the race a lap down after struggling on Pirelli?s new hard compound.

Here?s all the data from the Spanish Grand Prix.

Fernando Alonso?s[1] start from fourth place was absolutely remarkable. Not only did he make a quick getaway, he made the gutsy decision to try to duck down the inside of Mark Webber, just after Sebastian Vettel had backed away from doing the same thing.

Another drive who made a strong start was Michael Schumacher[2], gaining four places.

But in Jenson Button?s[3] words he was ?hung out to dry? and fell five places to tenth.

The jostling for position at the front meant that by lap 19 Alonso and both Red Bull[4] drivers had each made two pit stops.

Lewis Hamilton[5] began his third stint five laps later than Sebastian Vettel[6] but couldn?t eke that stint out any longer to significantly reduce the time he had to spend on the hard tyres.

Button could, however, and as a result only had to spend 18 laps on hards. That compares to Alonso and Webber who had to run 37 laps ? more than half the race ? on the slowest compound.

Race progress

Vettel and Webber began their final stints within a lap of each other. But, crucially, Vettel did not run into the same trouble with his tyres that Webber did towards the end of the race.

Webber fell back from his pursuit of Button, but Vettel was able to preserve his tyres and keep Hamilton behind.

Fastest laps

Lewis Hamilton[9] set the fastest lap of the race.

All lap times

Having shown good race performance earlier this year, Ferrari[10] were much slower on the new hard tyre compared to their closest rivals.

Once Vettel and Hamilton weren?t stuck behind Alonso, they were able to lap quicker than him on the soft tyres. But the switch to hard tyres hurt Alonso even more, as the lap times chart below makes clear.

He was around two seconds per lap slower like-for-like, which explains how he went from leading the race on lap 18, to being lapped before the end of the race.

His lack of pace on the hard tyres helps us understand why Ferrari didn?t risk using them in Q1. That only exacerbated his problem on race day, as it meant he went into the race with no fresh sets of soft tyres which could have shortened the time he spent on hards.

This chart shows all the drivers? lap times (in seconds) on each lap.
