Even if he had a great start which climbed from third to first position, Felipe Massa has been guided by the speaker and give victory to his teammate Fernando Alonso, for the Spanish driver to have more opportunities to fight for the world title.
Climbed on the podium and Sebastian Vettel, who won third place but only after a bad start, failing to capitalize the pole position so scarcely obtained Saturday.

Robert Kubica has passed on the 7th place in account for Renault and the polish performance was complemented by Vitaly Petrov, who won the last point at stake. Between the two pilots were inserted Mercedes GP, Schumacher and Nico Rosberg finishing in that order in place in 8 and 9.

This race was an example of what Formula 1 is all about: money, technology, fast cars and a lot of stupid humans without cohones.
I didn’t have any respect for Ferrari when Schumacher was let by Barrichello to win the races and I still don’t have any respect now.
Ferrari is a disgrace for Formula 1.
If all season will be like this, I’ll change to WRC next year.
Thanks for sharing Ferrari has the best cars on the track. Technologies are been increasing day by day.
