A little bit bussy just before the start at Brazil F1 2008. The rain was down, makes every team have to change the tire from dry tire to intermediate. Start finally released after delay for about 20 minutes. It was a clean start for Felipe Massa, Trullli, Raikkonen, & Lewis Hamilton on the front row. A little incident at the back happened to D Coulthard, and N Piquet Jr., make D Coulthard out form race. Not a good ending for him in his last race. He retired from Formula One this season.
Just like the previous race at Chinese, a little battle between Alonso vs Kovalainen in the beginning of the race. The first round of pit stop going well for most of the team. While Massa leading the race, Hamilton drop to position 7th after this first pit stop round. But it was a temporary position for him. He can make an improvement to pass the driver in front of him, and make a good position at 4th. Just good enough for him to win this world championship. He only need to finish at 5th position to win this year of world championship.
Rain was start falling again in lap 67. Every car looks like to pit to change to intermediate tire. Hamilton drop to 5th. He was under a big pressure. S Vettel have chance to pass him. The rest of the race was very fantastic. Congrats to Lewis Hamilton for the F1 world championship tittle. Congrats to Ferrari F1 for the Constructor Tittle.
