On Sunday there was the Chinese F1 Grand-Prix. The race was wet for the most part but became drier near the end. This type of race better suited the Bridgestone driver’s as their tyres seem to perform better in the wet to dry scenario. Fernando Alonso had the lead for the first part of the race. During his first pit stop he felt his front tyres were beginning to be worn out so they decided to replace only the fronts. This turned out to be a bad move though. Everyone else stayed on their old tyres and maintained their performance while Alonso lost a lot of grip. He had built up a 24 second gap before the pit stop, and looked like he would easily run away with the race. The lack of grip was costing him about 3 second per lap. Fisichella and Schumacher quickly caught up and passed Alonso. So then the next round of pit stops came and Alonso went to the dry tyres. This time the pit stop didn’t go well as a the right rear tyre didn’t go on well and it cost them an extra 20 seconds in the pits. The race was over, or was it. Alonso was moving very fast with his new dry tyres making up 1.5 – 2 seconds per lap. He was flying to catch back up. In the end he was 3 seconds behind Michael Schumacher. The end result was dissapointment for Renault as they lost a race they should have won. So now, with two races remaining, the Driver’s Championship is all tied up. Both Alonso and Schumacher have 116 points. This are getting interesting with the next race on Sunday in Japan.
