Chronicle - GP of China - China 
Hamilton wasted best choice to be champion Alonso and Raikkonen and raised
Formula 1, which remains true to its principles, has delighted us with an unforgettable experience on wet asphalt with accidents, overtaking impossible, and more uncontrollable skids; miracle included.
global leader Lewis Hamilton started from pole, which left him in the best position to mathematically crowned world champion. Especially knowing that the nearest rival, his teammate Fernando Alonso came fourth behind the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa. In fifth place came David Coulthard (Red Bull), followed by Ralf Schumacher (Toyota) and Mark Webber (Red Bull), positions unusual output for all three. BMW Australia would leave behind, way behind in this Grand Prix.
However, a classification in dry a wet race. Pending the arrival of Typhoon Krosa, the first storm approached with relevant Shanghai downloads of rain, and rode all mixed for output. The light turned off their lights to the tension contained in several fronts and Hamilton kept his drawn without too much trouble, followed by Raikkonen and Massa, but the Brazilian would soon be a spot silver on his left side throw to turn right, prancing in the 240 º bend wheel to wheel and reaching the last vertex of Curve 2 in fourth place after the letters of Banco Santander in Alonso's rear wing. A manual
overtaking difficult, risky and clean and not be useless because, surely thinking of his next victim, Alonso left open the door in Turn 3 and Felipe Massa regained the third position. Behind them, the rest of the pack negotiated the first three corners with no trouble but cleanly, with the exception of Ralf Schumacher particular punch and began his comeback in the wet.
The rain was again put teams appearance and the five senses to the possibility of having to change to extreme wet tires. Hamilton still rolling strong and little little open hole with Raikkonen, who in turn began to lose sight of his teammate Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso, hurt by the slow pace of the Brazilian.
Things looked black as the clouds of Shanghai, with Lewis leading the race without problems and Fernando plugged in fourth place, but in Formula 1 should never see beyond the moment on the track because the slightest change in adhesion, a unexpected puddle, a failure of concentration and everything can change. Something must have thought
Heikki Kovalainen (Renault), who after his great performance in Fuji was with certain problems and saw surpassed by Sebastian Vettel (Toro Rosso) and Jarno Trulli (Toyota), while career guidance notices of rain was forecast in minutes.
And while everything is rolling in his head without the emotion they put the group of Kovalainen, Button, Rosberg and Ralf Schumacher struggling no less than by the twelfth.
In the middle of the group, young Nico Rosberg ahead masterfully Jenson Button before going for the goal to start lap 16, in which Lewis Hamilton came into the pitlane for his first stop. As happened in 2006, spent the most viable option to keep the same tires mixed as having lost the drawing resembled a slick and provided in the drylands need to grip roll safely. Hamilton opted for this option as Massa two laps later.
Meanwhile, on the track, Rosberg and Kovalainen relive their grief for the umpteenth time in GP2 with the difference that this time, the Finn can not defend himself due to a big oversteer on the exit of Turn 2 and youth representative from Williams passes without problems.
At the same time, Alonso and Kimi flying around the track trying to cut their respective rivals to pass the time in the filling but without success in any of the top positions and would continue unchanged after the first game of pit-stops .
Thus began the real Grand Prix. Mark Webber for and put dry tires, like Alex Wurz. Although the first few corners have serious problems gradually take the Bridgestone Austrian temperature and Williams marks the fastest lap, which sounds alarm on all computers. So much so that BMW copied the strategy and to assemble the dry hard Kubica.
And as if by magic, the rain comes back when nobody has tires that allow driving in the wet. Kimi Raikkonen then made use of seasoned experience in a thousand battles and released by Hamilton, aware that this is his big chance. From six to five seconds apart, from five to four, three, ... and Kimi begin to show the nose of his Ferrari the global leader added problems of adherence with the responsibility of the world championship and the pressure of Iceman.
English holds the attacks but Kimi is clearly superior. Over the last corner, leaving Ralf Schumacher and Alonso followed Adrian Sutil hits the wall of television cameras. The track was very wet and mixed with degraded is really hard to keep a machine as powerful as a Formula 1. However, Kimi and Hamilton kept their machines, but the yellow flag Finnish prevent exceeding the leader. On-board decision shows pitching Räikkönen Ferrari and how it controlled countersteer seeking McLaren side and finally advancing it into an impressive display of driving in the wet.
But it still was not all fish sold, as Hamilton did not give up and that led him to destroy his rear tires. Alonso approached him and took the English way of pitlane to change his tires, going without knowing the time of day: at the entrance to pit lane in the curve to the left, the English went well past and paid for the year ending in hazing gravel and desperately asking for volunteers who pushed him, but it was too late. A beginner's mistake, which had not yet had Hamilton, and the world suddenly opened.
As if this were not enough, all Kimi separating the victory was Robert Kubica and left immediately for problems of the gearbox. Bad luck for the Pole, but joy for Ferrari and Alonso that multiplied their title chances.
address road announces that it will rain in 30 minutes, so that everything would end up dry and Fernando is released to the capture of Raikkonen. The Spaniard pushed hard, but with every lap Kimi embroidered answered him with another similar, so we finally both went down the pace. Behind them, Felipe Massa took down the infernal rhythm imposed by the greatest drivers of the moment and came to goal after a relaxed Alonso, Kimi while celebrating his fifth win of the season and fourteenth in Formula 1. Vettel, Button, Liuzzi, Coulthard and Heidfeld completed the points in a fulfilling career for almost everyone.
Thus, Hamilton continues to lead but just four points behind Alonso and seven of Raikkonen. If, after the Japanese GP painted the English world, now he has joined the red and yellow English and Finnish blue on white.
The pressure in Brazil will be on the shoulders of Hamilton and Alonso and Raikkonen have nothing to lose and much, much, to win. Neither more nor less than a championship crown.
