Here comes the much awaited review of the Japanese Grand Prix 2008. Just Kidding! I could have done away with the reviews of last three races but then decided to post it for the sake of completeness. What I’m going to do here is write very short notes on invidual performances and not go into description of events as I usually do. I’ll round it up with the complete race results. First up, its the Japanese GP won by none other than Fernando Alonso.

 F1 European GP 2008

After a three week break, Formula 1 turned to Valencia for the European Grand Prix 2008. Valencia is one of the two new circuits introduced to F1 this year. As with any new venue, there was an air of uncertainty and anticipation at the same time. The initial impressions were satisfactory and almost all drivers giving it a thumbs up. Valencia is a 5.4 KM long street circuit with numerous twists and turns.

 F1 Hungarian GP 2008

The Hungarian Grand Prix 2008 turned out to be one of the most exciting races of the season. Its a known fact that this race has always been a dull affair due to the lack of overtaking opportunities provided to the drivers. Usually the one to qualify upfront wins the race. However, this time the refueling rig fires and technical failures provided the much needed excitement.

 F1 German GP 2008

I’m here with the review for German Grand Prix 2008. The next race will take place this weekend and I thought its better to get the old one out of the way. The German round of Formula 1 World Championship took place at a different date and a different circuit than the last one but it still turned out the same result. Lewis Hamilton of McLaren was victorious again and its clear now that he and his team have found something, at last, which makes them the class of the field.

 F1 British GP 2008

I’m here with a very delayed review for the British Grand Prix 2008. All eyes were on Lewis Hamilton as it was his home Grand Prix and he did not disappoint. He raced ahead with the victory and by a decisive margin to clinch the winner’s crown for this race. It was well expected that both Ferrari and McLaren will fight it out on equal terms here although, this one was McLaren’s home Grand Prix and they just couldn’t afford to let Ferrari run away with the trophy.

F1 French GP 2008

Sorry for the late review. I was busy with my exams and also my PC had stopped working all of a sudden. However, its better late then never. So, here I’m with yet another Grand Prix review. The French Grand Prix 2008 was an eventful one. It was all Ferrari from the start of the first Friday practice. One could easily tell that the red cars are going to dominate the weekend through and through. To make matter worse, the reigning world champion was determined to win here.

F1 Malaysian GP 2008

Kimi Raikkonen is back and in style. His dominating display in Malaysian Grand Prix is just what the Tifosi has been expecting. Starting from 2nd on the grid, he made a superb start but still let his team-mate, Felipe Massa retain the lead through first few corners. The clever Finn made sure he stays within a second and a half by the time they make their first pit-stops. Once Massa came in, Kimi delivered a couple of astonishing laps. A shorter pit-stop for Kimi made sure he jumped his team-mate once he came out of the pits. He opened up a gap of about 5 seconds to second place Massa within a few laps.
