http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gghjnnckzaIstart of the 2nd half and is the 10th race and we r at Nurburgring, Germany for the European Grand Prix. Fernando Alonso yet again 4th time grab the win here, followed by Massa and Mark Webber of the Red Bull. here is the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e20jp2XZiSw11th race and we r at Budapest, Hungary for the Hungarian Grand Prix. and this where the McLaren-Ferrari controversy started. apparently, McLaren installed some spy into the Ferrari team and obtained some top secret info on how Ferrari worked and eventually they were punished by more than 1 million pound and they r stripped of the participation of Constructors Championship. this also marked the uneasiness between Hamilton and Alonso. during qualifying, Alonso stayed in pit lane for long time b4 going out and the reason is to prevent Hamilton from making a time. eventually, Alonso is penalized for 5 place drop penalty and Hamilton won the race the next day. here the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxVw4zsH8UYat 15th race, we moved to Fuji, Japan for the Japanese Grand Prix and bcoz tht day was raining heavily, a saftety car was ensured for abt 10 laps into the race b4 the race really did get started and Alonso crashed out of this race!!! here the link: Hamilton won this race. here is the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fodWQyiY_SM16th race and we moved juz left a bit to Shanghai, China for the Chinese Grand Prix. Hamilton made a mistake this time and this championship will b down to the last race at Brazil. Raikkonen won at Shanghai of cos. here is the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMtQNSibVYUby now, Hamilton has 107 pts, Alonso has 103 pts, Raikkonen has 100 pts. and this is the scenario for who will win.
for Hamilton to win on his debut yr, he juz only need to get 3rd and above and tht it.
for Alonso to win for the 3rd consecutive yr, he had to get 3rd at least and provided Hamilton finish lower than him by 2 places and Raikkonen also lower than him.
for Raikkonen to win, he had to win the race and Alonso muz finish 3rd or below and Hamilton at least 8th or below.
and alas, we r at Interlagos, Brazil for the final and 17th grand prix, the Brazilian Grand Prix. and guess wat? Raikkonen won this race and Alonso finished 3rd, Hamilton finish 9th!!!
and the final standings saw this: Raikkonen with 110pts, Alonso and Hamilton each with 109 pts!! here is the final link:
