2008 F1 Chinese GP Race: Hamilton dominates, nothing cool happens

Hamilton has increased his lead over Massa to 7 points. Kubica is out of the championship hunt. Alonso and Piquet secured fourth in the constructors' world championship, they are 20 points in front of Toyota and only 18 points up for grabs next race.

Boring race, though, only action IMHO was when Alonso and Kovalainen fought for fourth place in the first lap. Kovalainen got ahead of Alonso at the first few turns, but Alonso got it back at the end of the lap.

Next race,...

2008 F1 Chinese GP Quali: Hamilton on pole, Alonso in front of Kovy

Posted 10-18-2008 at 03:37 PM by Bludd (Bløgg)

Hamilton does the job and sticks his McLaren on pole, but his wingman, Heikki Kovalainen is upstaged by Fernando Alonso. Kimi and Felipe are P2 and P3 respectively. If Kimi destroys Lewis off the line as he did in Fuji last week, Lewis may see red again and ruin it all for himself and Massa.

Heidfeld has been slapped with a grid penalty for obstructing Coulthard in Q1, well deserved because Heidfeld was on his in lap while Coulthard was on his last hot lap.

I can't...

2008 F1 Japanese GP Race: ALONSOOOOOOOOOO!! TOMA!!

Excellent! This was an [B]awesome[/B] race. It was packed with incidents, it had overtaking, it had big drama, it had it all.

Kimi jumped Lewis at the start and Lewis lost his head and went in too hot in turn 1. He forced Kimi off the road and Robert stole the lead with Fernando in second and Heikki in third.

Then, later, Lewis and Felipe were fighting for position and Felipe made a mistake in the hairpin and went off the track, Lewis overtook and Felipe hit him and...

2008 F1 Japanese GP Quali: Hamilton on pole, Massa in P5

Posted 10-11-2008 at 07:41 AM by Bludd (Bløgg)

The two men fighting for the world driver's championship are separated by their respective team mates but also a cheeky Alonso in P4.

Renault have done a great job developing their car this year, starting with a slow car and now arguably having the third fastest car.

It was thrilling to the end, because Massa needs to win this race with Räikkönen on second to have a chance to win the championship.

Wonder if it'll rain tomorrow ...

2008 F1 Singapore GP Race: ALONSOOOOOOOOOOOOO

After the terrible disappointment of Saturday, Alonso and Renault had an excellent strategy (and the agility to change it when needed), and it brought them the race.

Of course, I have to acknowledge a few things:

[LIST=1][*] Alonso's strategy at the beginning was a 3-stop strategy. He started on the super-soft tyres but was held up by a very slow 1-stopping Jarno Trulli. Renault quickly gave up the 3-stopper at the first pit-stop which was a few laps before 2) happened.[*]...
