Felipe Massa is Second While Kimi Raikkonen is Third in Chinese Grand Prix

According to this Bloomberg report, Ferrari's both drivers took the rest of the podium standings at the F1 Chinese Grand Prix.

Felipe Massa took the second spot while Kimi Raikkonen took the third spot. McLaren-Mercedes's Lewis Hamilton won the top spot with an ease that sprung from his pole win on Saturday.

During the race, Hamilton had led Raikkonen while Raikkonen led Massa. At the last crucial laps, Raikkonen allowed his teammate to overtake him to take the second spot, thus bringing the points closer to Hamilton's lead to seven points.

Now it all hinges on the final Grand Prix in the race, the Brazilian Grand Prix. If Hamilton continues his win in Brazil, he will be the youngest driver ever at 23 years old to win a Grand Prix Championship. That makes him one year younger than Fernando Alonso, who won the Championship in 2005 at age 24.

The Brazilian Grand Prix will be THE race to look out for in deciding the eventual winner for this year.

Watch out for it.
