F1 Race (Valencia)
Thursday, 11. September 2008, 14:52:38
The inaugural Valencia Grand Prix didn't have to many upsets. The hometown hero Alonso was taken out of the race in less than a minute. There were also a few moments in the Ferrari garage with Massa nearly running over Sutil's car while Kimi took one of his mechanics to ground as he drove off but later pulling out of the race with a blown engine very similar to Massa in the last race.
1. Felipe Massa, simply a lights to flag victory. In control of the race all the time except for a little incident with Sutil as he (Massa) left the pits. Almost resulted in a collision. In the press conference Massa did get a laugh out of everyone by implying Sutil should have slowed down for him.
2. Lewis Hamilton, a pretty quiet race by his standards. Massa always had the measure of him.
3. Robert Kubica, once again more points to keep his championship hopes alive. They are hopes remember.
4. Heikki Kovalainen, another mediorce performance by the other Finn. Yes he won at hungary but didn't look like a race winner here. Lucky to get an extra point due to the demise of his fellow Finn.
5. Jarno Trulli, once again making sure Toyota bring home good points to be the best of the rest.
6. Sebastian Vettel, another good perfomance by him. Why bigger teams don't want to sign him is beyond me.
7. Timo Glock, has been having a few good performances of late. Consistently getting into the points unlike the first half of the season.
8. Nico Rosberg, didn't really see much of him. But a point is a point.
