Lewis Hamilton has set a big step to his first Formula 1 world championship by winning the Chinese Grand-Prix. Felipe Massa finished second after Kimi Raikkonen let him pass in the finishing stage of the race. Robert Kubica finished 6th and is now no longer a candidate for the title.
With only one race to go in Brasil has Hamilton the best papers for the title. In Sao Paolo Hamilton is allowed to finish 5th as Massa wins. However 1 year ago Hamilton also travelled to Brasil as championship leader by 7 points. Then he lost the title to Kimi Raikkonen. With all incidents this year nothing looks sure!
