Finally a good race weekend for Ferrari. Seems like the testing done at Silverstone paid off. They were clearly the quickest cars. On the qualifying day as well as on race day. Massa is still giving Raikonnen a run for his money, but finally the Finn has managed to claw a victory, although it was owing largely to backmarkers holding back Massa on Kimi's in lap. But he requires all the luck he can get.
McLaren meanwhile had the first mechanical hitch this season, with one of the cars having a gear box problem. And unfortunately for Alonso, it was him. Starting from 10th place on a 2 pitstop strategy did not pay off as cars in front of him also switched to 2 stops, negating his advantage. He could not blame the team this time around though. His attempts at overtaking Heidfeld were hilarious, and he did not succeed till the end, even had Giancarlo Fisichella finish ahead of him.
Hamilton continued his point gathering and came 3rd. This fellow is turning out to be a huge threat to the senior drivers. He is currently 17 points ahead of Massa. The law of averages should catch up with him soon.
The best overtaking in the race was by Fernando Alonso, when he overtook Nico Rosberg to go up to 7th place.
