Rambling on…

Ferrari have walked away with a 1-3 result from the Chinese GP. Woohoo! Wet races always produce the best racing as teams and drivers gamble with their strategy and tyre choice. Fuji and Shanghai are classic example of this. The FIA should consider artificially wetting a track at random every season!

Lewis Hamilton didn’t score at all this race. And I personally think it is a result of McLaren hedging their bets again, just like they did with Kimi when he had flat spotted his tyre back at the European GP in 2005. Lewis admitted as much, telling Louise Goodman that he was waiting for the right time to switch over and was in fact coming in for a fresh set of tyres when he slid off at the entry to the pitlane. A case of being a little too late?

The current championship tally of Hamilton – 107, Alonso – 103 and Raikkonen – 100 means that we head to Brazil with 3 drivers still in contention for the World Championship. It is still an uphill task for both Alonso and Raikkonen with Raikkonen needing another (preferably) Hamilton DNF, which we all know is quite impossible. But this is still F1, and stranger things have happened. The last race of the season is gonna be electrifying.

Special mention goes to Sebastian Vettel who redeemed himself quite well after Fuji. And to Scuderia Toro Rosso, who got both cars home in the points, ahead of their ‘A team’ Red Bull Racing.
