Alonso telemetry (??)

There was a queue of cars behind Alonso and on the apex of the very last
corner of the race they suddenly all bunched up even more, MS nearly
making contact with the back of Alonso's car. Alonso's car didn't *look*
like it was moving about at all (that is - I couldn't see any reason for
it..). Then Alonso seemed to accelerate away and fishtail out of the
corner, safely to the finish line.

Is there a rule against brake testing the car behind?

I don't think so - and I don't know that he did that - I'm really not
sure *what* was going on. As someone else said, I expect some of the
other drivers may be having a quiet word to him though.

So far I haven't seen it in any credible publication,
but allegedly Alonso's telemetry proves FA braked
in exactly the same spot the last four laps prior to
the DC incident.

Would explain the stewards' decision.

If I recall properly, wasn't the spot where DC went off also the part
where one of the Toyota's blew up its engine just a couple of laps
before? Could have been engine oil the DC went off on after going
offline.
