I think it was a boring race at Shanghai F1 2008. After what we saw at Fuji F1 2008 last week, shanghai didn’t give any spactacular f1 show. The start going well for most driver. No overtaking move from top 10 driver at that race. (at least until 21 lap). Except overtaking show between Kovalainen vs F Alonso at the first 5 lap of Shanghai F1 2008 race.

Leiws Hamilton still leading the race. He was make a little mistake on lap 22. He was undester at that lap. Another retirement for A Sutil. Again and again. After he got problem with his tire last week at Japan, now he got another problem with his engine what a fuck! First pit stop session also going well and smooth. Every car made his pit very beautiful, perfect, and no mistake.

Bad luck for Kovalainen. He got his right front tire blew up at lap 35 make his position drop. Good day for Kubica. Having a bad qualification on saturday, he starting the race from 11th posisition. Lucky for him, he make a good progress during a race, and jump the position to 6th place. But this is not good enough. He throw out from the world championship competition because at the end of the race Hamilton makes a perfect point followed by Felipe Massa.

Great day for Felipe Massa. He very enjoy his race. Maintain on 3rd position during race, he switch position with K Raikkonen on lap 49, and finish on position 2nd and made 8 points. Make his opportunity to win the world championship still open.
