Ralf got a fire lighted under his ass was awesome all weekend... until he started messsing up.
Massa really didn't have the pace it seemed to challenge Kimi this weekend, and lost out to Alonso too.
Vettel makes good for his mistake in Japan, again a great drive.
Renaults were nowhere in China.
Flawless drive by Kimi.. it was funny watching him waiting for a non-yellow flag zone to overtake Lewis.
Lewis screwed up on the pit entry - simple mistake in the wet pitlane and he still has the title wrapped up if he has a standard race in Brazil, but it sure isn't over yet

Again so much happened!

Lewis went in the pits just too hot. under pressure from the fast charging Kimi.

Good for him that he had a bit of a lead in the championship.

So the situation now for Kimi to win the championship is he needs to win with Alonso in 3rd or worse, and Hamilton in 6th or worse!

With a ferrari 1-2 Alonso is taken care of, but I wouldn't expect Hamilton to be down in 6th without a botched pit-entry or some other mistake... 1st corner in Brazil is always a toughie.

Good thing is Hamilton simply can't afford to take it easy now, as he could've done last weekend - now he has to be super careful to not DNF, while still having to keep up the pace to stay in the top six. I hope the BMWs, Red-bulls, or Renaults etc have a good weekend to make Hamilton really earn it. :wink:

It's gonna be a hell of a race!
