Since Hamilton made a mistake in Q3 and weather playing games it was sure that race on Sunday would be amazing. Most surprising result was Heikki on Pole alongside Mark Webber in Red Bull, Massa was down to P9 alongside Kubica. Usually the starting row 5 and 1 are swapped.

Race started with Hamilton and Kimi in row 2 and wet conditions. Hamilton took the advantage in the beginning and climbed up to 2 positions but Heikki drove well to keep Hamilton away. Conditions were very tricky on back of the grid with all the rubber from tracked washed out because of overnight rains. Webber lost him place in first lap itself and for rest of the race he was trying to climb up again. Heikki had a spin and Hamilton took advantage of it to get into lead.

Alonso was one of the first to pit in and surprisingly did not take a new set of tyres (still I don’t understand why) and had to struggle throughout the race after that. Kimi and Hamilton pitted together and it seemed Kimi will take the lead but a brilliant stop by McLaren ensured that Hamilton maintains the lead.  Just to get track position Kimi did not take new tyres but that strategy backfired for Ferrari.

Tricky Conditions

Honda was looking extremely bad, they did not have any grip and car was very unstable. Before the race Button had said only rain can help us, and exactly same happened but for another Honda drive, Rubens who drove brilliant to get that last place on podium. Another struggling team was Williams and nothing went right there way, Nakajima has to be content with P7.
