So Hamilton gets pole at home! But I have to admit that qualifying was rather boring and I expected Hamilton to be pushing more in qualifying. At least Kimi brought Ferrari to the front row. I expected it to be nothing but McLaren in the front row. I wonder if the home town was too much for Hamilton.

Ferrari gets a bad start. So Massa stalls on the starting grid. Ooops… to pit lane for you. So that put Lewis and Kimi right on his tail from the start. I think Hamilton was maybe a little edgy being home. Only had to look at the first pit for him and he lurching with the lolly flipped and he lurched still with the fueling hose.

Scott, broken suspension this time… oh, when does it just go right for them?

So Alonso gets the extra points over Hamilton. Not to mention that Hamilton only gets 3rd at home. That must of hurt. Alonso was a little outspoken about catching up with Lewis on points from here on out. One thing to note is the Lewis has been on 9 podiums out of 9 races. That is a good trend for a noob this year huh.
