The last round of the Formula 1 championship is always exciting but when three drivers are all going for glory then its spectacular!
New driver Hamilton missed out on tying up his first championship two weeks ago by not finishing the China Grand Prix. This left Hamilton with only a 3 point advantage over two time champion Alonso and a seven point advantage over Kimi Raikkonen. In an awesome twist of fate which had Hamilton suffer car trouble and Alonso just not having the speed, Kimi Raikkonen is the newest F1 Champion.
Right from the start Ferrari were all over the two McLarens with Massa blocking Hamilton off the start leaving room for Kimi to move up into second then Kimi held off the power in front of Hamilton giving Alonso an easy pass up the inside. Blocking Hamilton to help Alonso through the gap gave Kimi the best chance of winning the championship. Hamilton, not happy with dropping two places in the first two corners tried to come back at Alonso but while making a move only inches away from the back of Alonso's car, Hamilton lost down force on his front wing and locked up his right hand front tyre.
A few laps later, Hamilton lost power in his car and spend over thirty seconds watching the whole field of cars race by. He then spent the rest of the race getting back up to eighth position giving the title to Kimi Raikkonen!
