Boring race, I was very dissapointed by Massa, he did a very weel race:

1 2 Lewis Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes
2 6 Kimi Räikkönen Ferrari +0.7 secs
3 9 Nick Heidfeld BMW +43.1 secs
4 1 Fernando Alonso McLaren-Mercedes +44.8 secs
5 10 Robert Kubica BMW +47.6 secs
6 11 Ralf Schumacher Toyota +50.6 secs
7 16 Nico Rosberg Williams-Toyota +59.1 secs
8 4 Heikki Kovalainen Renault +68.1 secs
9 15 Mark Webber Red Bull-Renault +76.3 secs
10 12 Jarno Trulli Toyota +1 Lap
11 14 David Coulthard Red Bull-Renault +1 Lap
12 3 Giancarlo Fisichella Renault +1 Lap
13 5 Felipe Massa Ferrari +1 Lap
14 17 Alexander Wurz Williams-Toyota +1 Lap
15 22 Takuma Sato Super Aguri-Honda +1 Lap
16 19 Sebastian Vettel STR-Ferrari +1 Lap
17 20 Adrian Sutil Spyker-Ferrari +2 Lap
18 8 Rubens Barrichello Honda +2 Lap
Ret 18 Vitantonio Liuzzi STR-Ferrari +28 Laps
Ret 23 Anthony Davidson Super Aguri-Honda +29 Laps
Ret 7 Jenson Button Honda +35 Laps
Ret 21 Sakon Yamamoto Spyker-Ferrari +66 Laps

He will start from the sixth place beacuse of his stupid thinh tht he did. He refused to move from the pit lane during the final moments of qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix and so Hamilton couldn’t get on track for his final try.
Also, McLaren will not get points in the constructor’s championship for this race.

It was an interesting race, not quite spectacular but interesting. It wasn’t Hamilton’s day, he finished “only” the third.
Massa did a pretty good job after he started last, from the pit lane. If only he could overtake Kubica.
Kubica is good, is very good.
