22 06 2008
Let us return together on this race and Ferrari victory...
2 pm, the departure is given. Ferrari flies away and Fernando Alonso loses his third position. Jarno Trulli rushes into the passage as well as Robert Kubiça. But Renault driver takes back the fourth place in Adélaïde's bend. Nelsinho Piquet, ninth, defends his rank and resists to McLaren-Mercedes drivers. After Heikki Kovalainen's fruitless attempts, Lewis Hamilton extends beyond his team-mate and leaves to the hunting of the Brazilian. Jenson Button loses his wing before in the beginning of race. The British playboy will pass on Sunday in last position. The race was rather monotonous. Sebastien Bourdais pursues the ad adventure in the steering wheel of Toro Rosso. "Red of Maranello" crushed the competition. They sit the third consecutive victory in France. Felipe Massa wins the sleeve in front of his team-mate. If Rafaela Massa is delighted at this result, Kimi Räikkönen is disappointed. "Iceman" will have in heart to take its revenge to Silverstone in fifteen days. Jarno Trulli offers a podium to Toyota. Italian is the third. Heikki Kovalainen will have to be satisfied with the fourth rank. The pressure put on nice Jarno was vain… McLaren-Mercedes was invisible this weekend. Robert Kubiça is the fifth. It's a little of disappointing. Mark Webber raises himself on the sixth place. The Australian is of the most constant since the beginning of the season. Nelsinho Piquet registers the first points of his career in F1. He's classified seventh under the eyes of his ex-girlfriend Bia Antony. The young Brazilian came with Ronaldo, her future baby's dad. Fernando Alonso is eighth. Beauty queen France 2008, Valérie Bègue, was present on Sunday to encourage Renault and Sebastien Bourdais. The show missed but the french team returns to Viry-Châtillon and Enstone with three points. David Coulthard is ninth in front of Lewis Hamilton. Timo Glock is eleventh. He's followed by his two German fellow countrymen, Sebastian Vettel and Nick Heidfeld. Rubens Barrichello occupies the fourteenth position. Williams drivers are respectively fifteenth and sixteenth with an advantage for Kazuki Nakajima. Sébastien Bourdais, Force India drivers and Jenson Button ends the classification. Let us note that Honda driver didn't receive the flag with checkerboard.
In eight GPF1 competed, the leader in the drivers championship changed five occasions. It passes in Felipe Massa's camp (48 points) today. Robert Kubiça is second (46 points). "Iceman" is third in front of Lewis Hamilton. At the constructors, Ferrari increases its advance (91 points). BMW (74 points) and McLaren (58 points) complete the trio of head.
We would like congratulating Felipe Massa, Jarno Trulli, Mark Webber and Nelsinho Piquet on their remarkable performances. 2008 was it the last edition of the GP of France on the circuit of Nevers-Magny-Cours ? The notices diverge on the question... 2007 already had to mark the end of the Burgundian adventure… We'll close this French page by giving you meeting next year to Saint-Parize-le-Châtel for a new goodbye !… From 24 till 26 June, teams will be in testing to Silverstone to prepare the British sleeve. Then in fortnight, "F1-circus" will compete for the ninth sleeve of the season in the county of Northampton... Good week to you and let us hope that finale of the Euro 2008 of football is fantastic !… Spain / Germany ?
