The Formula 1 in Fuji, Japan

The race today was fantastic!! And the whole race session had been accompanied by medium to heavy rain fall, visibility is very low at some moment, and the roads were getting very slippery. The race started with the safety car leading all the 22 cars, for about 20 laps!! Rain was so heavy that the visibility is very low, and the first 20 laps just started with the safety car, it's about half an hour of race with the safety car in front!!

In this safety car racing period, both Ferrari drivers went in the pit twice, making them dropped their position from 3rd and 4th to last few positions, though their car were full in gas. After the safety was in, Lewis started to pull away from his rival Fernando Alonso. In laps 30+, Alonso went in the pit and rejoined the race around 7-8 place, behind many cars in front yet to make their pit stop, and it's here that the Alonso had crashed very terribly, and he is out of the race!!

Lewis Hamilton finished the race with ease, with added advantage over his team mate Fernando Alonso by another 10 points, as he finished in 1st position!! Another victory for him!! The last lap of the race was full of actions between the Robert Kubica and Fellipe Massa, Massa was attempting in any way to overtake Kubica, while Kubica was trying very hard to prevent this, the drama is like playing computer racing game where both the drivers overtook each other many times, and driving off track on the last corner of the lap, and Fellipe took the place and finished in 6th, quite an interesting F1 race day in Japan!!
