Another Ferrari dominated race and when some team is really fast then others race has to be boring. It was a circuit where overtaking is not very easy and once Ferrari’s had front row in qualifying, the only question was ‘Kimi or Massa, who will win the race?’
Hamilton started from 13th place, he started aggressively but had a drive through penalty because he cut one corner while overtaking. This penalty lost him all 4 places that he has gained during first 6 laps. Alonso started from second row, but Trulli overtook him in the beginning and drove an excellent race to finish on Podium. He truly deserved that position and got one of the best results for Toyota. Heikki tried to overtake Trulli in last stages of the race but Trulli defended very well.
Kimi was struggling with his car and Massa took full advantage of it to win the race. But before the problems started for Kimi, it was a spectacular move by Massa to snatch P1 from Finn. Another nice move was by Piquet who overtook Alonso to score his first points.
Honda was struggling throughout the weekend and Button faces the issues in 4th lap, he ran wide and had to retire. He was the only retirement of the race. Force India seems to have lost the momentum and are not competitive at all.
