Fisi, may have won but it was given to him. with his friend passing away last week and Fisi saying this race was for him i think Renauly felt bad about the last race also and pretty much said "we'll let Fisi win this race".
Renault is simply toying with Fisi!!

No personal offense, but that is an incredibly stupid statement. You seem to be reading conspiracies into everything
Why on earth would Renault delibrately hobble their best driver? They are there to win the WDC and prepare their cars equally as has been clearly attested by both drivers and Pat Symmonds.

Alonso didnt start with all that fuel or he could have nearly one stopped thru the race. The qualifying rules state that you start with minimum of what you have in the tank and a maximum that includes in addition a calculated fuel credit - fuel for every lap run within 110% of your best lap.
So Alonso must have got some of the fuel credit but not all of it. He still went longer into the first stint than his immediate rivals
