Kimi Raikkonen had a great run, with his one-stop strategy. The only problem was, his tire gave way just after his first pit stop. And that was ridiculous because the only way he could have gained 10 spots was through pit strategy, and he was truly on track to win it and push Alonso to P3.

But it was not to be. Kimi had to pit again to replace his tire and as a result he ended up at #4.

#4 is still not a bad finish, much better than out of the points. But it gives Alonso an even bigger cushion going into the last few races.

Also, with Fisi ending up at #3, it was even more difficult for McLaren Mercedes to close the gap on Renault.

Quite a frustrating race :-(
