According to Formula One's website, Lewis Hamilton of McLaren successfully took the pole position at Japan Grand Prix on Saturday afternoon. Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari came in second while Heikki Kovalainen of McLaren came in third. Poor Felipe Massa of Ferrari came in only at fifth position, after Renault's Fernando Alonso.
Looks like the race is set for another close fight between McLaren and Ferrari, with Hamilton and Raikkonen set for fighting to the race finish. But Massa should not be written off entirely as no one could be entirely certain until the race is over.
Just take Alonso, the winner of the first ever night race at the Singapore Grand Prix. No one expected him to take the winner's podium since he started the race at fifteen place. Even Alonso himself admitted that the race was over for him until the incidents of the safety cars came into the picture.
So even though Massa might seem to be on a losing end here, it remains to be seen who will be the eventual winner for the Japan Grand Prix. No doubt Hamilton will try to pull his lead of seven points over Massa to greater lengths. Will fate comes in to play trick on him? Or will he finally win the winner's podium here?
Too bad I don't have any access to the Grand Prix. However I will check by Formula One's website to see who will be the winner. Of course, my wish is to see Kimi Raikkonen win but it's all up to fate.
This year's Formula One Drivers' Championship is full of excitements and changes. Will Hamilton wins as expected or will he be dethroned by a black horse? It remains to be seen with 3 races left on the circuit.
