Spain 2007
FELIPE MASSA ON POLE AGAIN - 3 IN A ROW NOW - AND WENT ON TO LEAD THE RACE FROM LIGHTS TO FLAG ALTHOUGH 2 INCIDENTS COULD HAVE INTERFERED WITH HIS PROGRESS. THE FIRST INVOLVED FERNANDO ALONSO WHO WAS DETERMINED TO GET PAST FELIPE AT THE START AND WENT THE OUTSIDE ROUTE AT TURN 1. HE ALMOST MADE IT BUT FELIPE WAS NOT FOR GIVING WAY AND BY TURN 2 FERNANDO WAS ON THE GRASS. IN RETURNING TO THE TRACK HE LOST ABOUT 3 PLACES AND ALMOST TOOK OUT HIS TEAM-MATE, LEWIS HAMILTON. THE OTHER INCIDENT TO AFFECT FELIPE WAS A FIRE RESULTING FROM FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL RIG AT A PIT-STOP. IT IGNITED JUST AS HE LEFT THE PIT AND LOOKED VERY DRAMATIC AS HE MADE HIS FIERY EXIT BUT THE AIRFLOW SOON EXTINGUISHED IT AND ALL WAS WELL. NUMEROUS INCIDENTS LED TO NUMEROUS RETIREMENTS, INCLUDING KIMI RAIKKONEN WITH AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, BUT EVENTUALLY LEWIS FINISHED 2ND AND FERNANDO 3RD. HAMILTON NOW LEADS THE CHAMPIONSHIP, THE YOUNGEST DRIVER TO DO SO SINCE BRUCE MCLAREN IN THE 1960'S.
