It was a boring and predictable race, there was no rain, no minor incidents, no major incidents, no nothing, just smog and dust.

1st place – Lewis Hamilton (94 pts)

2nd place – Felipe Massa (87 pts)

3rd place – Kimi Raikonnen

4th place – Fernando Alonso

Massa is 7 points behind, which means he will need 8 or more points to win the championship. There is a few scenarios in which he can do this:

Scenario A – Massa 1st, Hamilton 6th or below.

Scenario B – Massa 2nd, Hamilton 8th or below.

Basically, if Lewis Hamilton gets anywhere from 1st to 5th position in the next race, he wins. Massa, on the other hand, needs to finish either 1st or 2nd to even stand a chance. At this moment, I doubt Massa can snatch the WDC away from Hamilton.

Alonso finished on a solid 4th, after starting from 4th. The only cars in front of him were Ferrari and McLaren, again proving that Renault has indeed improved their cars, although still not enough to pressure Ferrari or McLaren. Hope what they learned this season will propel them to the front next season, and give Alonso the car that he deserves.
