welcome to Shanghai, China for the third round of F1 and what a rainy day it is. one hour prior to the race, the rain fall heavily and till now is still the same. and the race will start from safety car! hmmm, given this kind of torrential rain, one will seriously wonder will it happen just like 2 weeks ago de Malaysian GP, where red flags brought the race to an end not even halfway through the race.

oo, 8 laps after behind safety car, we r going to race in the torrential rain. how exciting! and Sebastian Vettel immediately clear off the pack, brilliant stuff from him! and he already open up quite a big gap between him and his teammate Mark Webber. at the back, oh oh... Hamilton slings shot past Raikkonen and up to 7th place. wonderful stuff from the world champion.

this is lap 10 and Hamilton is behind Raikkonen! oh no, he spuns wide in this rain. he had to do it all over again but at the head of the order, Sebastian Vettel leads Mark Webber and the 2 Brawn cars of Jenson Button and Rubens Barichello follows!

Safety Car on lap 18! Robert Kubica crashed onto the rear wing of Jarno Trulli, effectively ended the Toyota man race! oh dear! and Buemi hit onto the left rear tyre of Vettel! what a bitter time to lose yr front wing after getting as high as 5th place. now at the head of the order is still Vettel, Button and Massa. great stuff from the Ferrari guy! oh wait a min, his car is coming to a HALT! MECHANICAL FAILURE! bad luck falls onto him again. what a disaster!

this is lap 29 of the Chinese GP and Button slides wide! Webber moves up to 2nd place. and now Webber skids wide! Button retakes it back! OH OH, Webber take the wider line in Turn 2 and overshoots Button, back to 2nd place!

lap 50 and the Force India's Adrian Sutil is looking to get the very 1st point for his team. he is in 6th place now, ahead of Hamilton after some skidding of the track once again. OH NO!!! SUTIL RUNS WIDE AND CLASHED ONTO THE WALL!!! just what must they do so that Force India can get the very 1st point since entering F1 last year. so close yet so far.

but Vettel is driving an aboslutely wonderful race in so treachorous conditions! and onto the last corner, he crosses the line to win the Chinese GP, the maiden victory for Red Bull and Vettel's 2nd career victory! to highlight Red Bull strength, Webber comes in 2nd! absolutely wonderful race!
