Kimi wins a thrilling Chinese GP

A very dramatic race run in changeable conditions saw Racecar client Kimi take the win and Lewis retiring!

Kimi always looked likely to win and drove superbly to record Ferrari's 200th win. However the story of the race was Lewis retiring from second place as his car left the track as he came into the pitlane and got beached on the gravel. His tyres were absolutely shot and unfortunately the call to keep him out for as long as possible was in hindsight the wrong one. Lewis showed his class by talking to ITV after the incident - and calmly put the incident behind him and is looking forward to the final race.

Stars of the race:

Kimi - faultlessSebastien Vettel - unbelievelable drive - 4th in a Torro Rosso!!! One of Red Bull's better investments - Superstar in the makingJenson - good effort in the Honda - 5th!Liuzzi - out of job for 2008? - I reckon his agent Peter Collins should get a fair hearing down the pitlane discussing possibilities for next year

Bernie must be laughing - how many people will tune in to watch the title decider in Brazil on October 21st??!!
