It was simply the best race of the season. With Alonso, Kimi and Montoya starting at the tail end of the field and the track exactly opposite to what it was in qualification, the race start was expected to be dramatic. Guess what it was… Alonso managed to gain 8 places, Micheal made up 7 and Kimi made 5 by the end of the first lap.

Then there were problems in Mc Laren town(whats new right)… Montoya lost control and crashed out forcing a safety car.

The race just kept getting better… soon Alonso over took Klien and since he had gone on the grass and straight lined a chicane he let Klien thru. Almost immediately the World Champ took back the place with a gritty move. He slowly climbed upto Micheal’s back and was just about to do a move when the FIA ordered him to return the place to Klien. Sadly it happened after about 3 laps and Alonso lost over 7 seconds while letting Klien thru and then taking the place back… This was the difference for the world champ ending up 3rd instead of winning.

At this time Kimi was behind Alonso by over 5 seconds coupled with the 7 seconds it made a huge difference. Alonso came back in a way a only a true champ can he overtook the ex-world champ, Micheal Schumacher twice and in magnificent fashion to total upto 14 overtakes by the end of the race.

Kimi drove a race of grit and determination. His consistency took him within an arms reach of Fisi and finally overtook him to win with only one lap remaining.

This race proved to me that Fernando is the next Micheal Schumacher. I have been following Alonso since 2003 and personally felt he was still learning and will prob be a champ in 2008 or so when Schumi retires. But his unbelieveable agression and inch perfect driving can be only compared to the “God” of F1 himself.

The fact that Alonso overtook Micheal twice and in convincing fashion only shows how much better driver he is to Kimi… Kimi struggeled with Micheal Schumacher and could only get a pass after the Ferrari stuttered under heavy fule load.

I just cant wait for China… with just 2 points over Mc Laren, Renault know they have to get both their boys home like they did today to win the coverted Constructors chamionship. All I have to say is “Go Go Go Renault…”
