Quick notes while on vacation, and on the eve of Valencia's inaugral GP's qualifying. First Hockenheim.
The German GPs are Kimi's bogey tracks, both of them, and he must be happy that the season no longer contains two of the races, but rather alternates between Nurmburgring and Hockenheim. Still, the German races have always been bad news for Raikkonen.
Meanwhile, McLaren has been catching up to Ferrari's lead technically, and BMW, after its maiden win, seems to have slipped back somewhat.
Hockenheim Lewis on form, grabbing pole position. Massa lined up second and Heikki Kovalainen on third. Kimi was down in sixth, and Kubica in seventh position.
The race.. Lewis dominated and won the race without much trouble or drama. Massa lost a place down from where he qualified and finished third. Heikki lost two places and finished in fifth. Kimi held his position and finished sixth. The amazing performance was by Renault rookie driver Nelson Piquet, who started back in 17th and managed to finish second.
After the race, Lewis had gained a 4 point cushion to Massa, 7 points ahead of Kimi and 10 points ahead of Kubica. The wonderfully evenly matched season turned much less so in just one race.
