Nico Rosberg has been showing him the way a bit in the other
Williams and while qualifying wasn’t very good, with him starting 20th and Nico seventh, he did turn things around in the grand prix itself.
Renault’s
Heikki Kovalainen also got a good result with fourth and, considering he has had a bit of a tough time since stepping up to
F1, I was happy to see him do well.
It was an important result for the
regie too, especially as
Giancarlo Fisichella was disqualified for the same reason as Massa.
The other person who surprised was
Takuma Sato, and for him to take sixth for
Super Aguri really was a turn-up. Sato only gave the outfit its first point in Spain and for him now to add three more points to that total is very credible.
The fact he did it in style as well, overtaking the two Toyotas and the reigning world champion in the closing stages really was something that had to be seen to be believed. Well done to them…
Of the rest, Ralf took the final point and, for him, that was something, because his year to date has been very dismal. Of course, there is speculation about his future at
Toyota, but we will have to wait and see if any of it actually proves to be true.
So, to sum up, if I had to make a prediction for this weekend, I’d probably go for the McLarens and, given the way Lewis is going, I’d love to see him get win number two.
Enjoy the race...
