This can be a nice race. Naghahabol ng points si FM, dapat cool lang si LH to keep the lead.

Numerically impossible na manalo is KR.

The big question is whether Fernando Alonso will keep his word and will try to "help" Massa win... in other words... he's not going to hound Massa from fourth place? He'll hold up the rest of the field so the two Ferraris can gang up on Lewis? Yeah... right.

Yup, exactly the same question I have in mind. The first few corners of the race will surely be action-packed....

Those who have the b*lls and nerves of steel will surely benefit from all of these.... RK is not even in the top10.....

We'll see....

Lewis Hamilton is leading from pole at the Sinopec Chinese GP!

He's had the pace all qualifying... too bad Hekki faltered in Q3... anyway, looks like the Ferraris have no answers for Lewis' charge at the moment...

Great racing between Hekki and Alonso...

This is going to be a good race.

Massa sure isn't showing signs of matching either KR or LH here. LH is fastest through the technical sections at the start of the lap, but the Ferraris have absolutely amazing speed (as always) down the back straight.

And as I say that, Lewis loses it in turn two... still in the lead, though... loses just 0.2 seconds in that? Wow.

WTH is up with Kovalainen? Is it a brake issue? He's way off pace in the slower corners, so it seems likely...

Alonso, on the other hand... brilliant pace... one of only four drivers under 1:37. Someone give the guy a cookie... paging Ferrari... :lol:

EDIT: here's a shocker... Ferrari pits first. LH light fuel load conspiracy theory? Rubbish. Shame on you all. :lol:
