2008 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix

another eventful race in this season's F1. i love it!

- it was raining during the race so exciting events were expected. haha.

- Heikki Kovalainen (McLaren-Mercedes), Mark Webber (Red Bull-Renault), and Kimi Räikkönen (Ferrari) were the top 3 drivers during the qualifying but they did not win. Kovy was 5th, Webber was 10th, and Kimi was 4th at the end of the race.

- Felipe Massa (Ferrari) spun his car 6 times during the race. i couldn't help but laugh every time i saw his car spinning. :D

- Adrian Sutil's (Force India-Ferrari) car flew in the air. woah.

- David Coulthard (Red Bull-Renault) and Sebastian Vettel (STR-Ferrari) weren't able to finish the first lap. their cars went off-track and got stuck.

- great race by Lewis Hamilton (McLaren-Mercedes). he was 4th during the qualifying but was able to pass through Webber as they were leaving the starting line. he was more than a minute ahead of Nick Heidfeld (BMW) who landed on 2nd place. it was a sweet victory for Lewis since it was held in his own country. :)

- Rubens Barrichello (Honda) landed on the podium again after 3 years.

- Lewis, Felipe, and Kimi are all tied on the top spot of driver's points. Ferrari still leads the constructor's points followed by BMW and McLaren.

- the winners:
1. Lewis Hamilton
2. Nick Heidfeld
3. Rubens Barrichello

next stop: Hockenheim, Germany. July 18-20, 2008.
