Kimi wins the Spanish GP

Kimi dominated the Spanish Grand Prix today. Kimi had a slightly slow start but nevertheless took the first corner in the lead. Massa hung on to finish in 2nd while Hamilton finished in 3rd.

The race had quite a few safety car-provoking incidents. At the start, Vettel collided with a car which prompted the first safety car. Heikki Kovaleinen had a truly scary crash today. His left front tyre burst at turn nine, causing him to dart straight off the track into the tyre barrier. He would have been doing 140kmph at that point! Heikki is doing fine but will nonetheless spend the night in hospital as a precaution, according to reports.

Ferrari probably could have won the race by a larger margin, in my view. The safety car incidents served to bunch up the pack which erased Kimi and Massa's gap over Hamilton. Ferrari may also have turned down the revs since this is their first race on the new engine.

The next race is in Istanbul, Turkey in two weeks. This is one of Massa's favourite tracks as he has won there twice in the last three years. Kimi is sitting on 29 points at the moment, 9 clear of Hamilton. Kimi won the inaugural Turkish GP in 2005.
