Lewis Hamilton wins the 2008 Australian Grand Prix
I watched the race highlights, not the race as i have an exam tomorrow. But anyway Lewis sort of deserved his first victory of the season. Kimi Raikkonen on the other hand deserved not to win or even finish the race. It seems the iceman is literally driving on ice and is having a hard time minus the traction control (there might be some other explanation, but i didn’t hear the on-race commentary, seeing the footage it all seemed like rookie mistakes to me) The race results are ::

Well apart from starting at 15th place on the grid and passing all the way to 3rd and not able to avoid the gravel while passing for 2nd I guess Kimi didn’t do too shabby. Like they say better luck next time Kimi.

It was because of the pit strategy, everyone was pitting and Kimi was gaining places, but as far as i remember he spun 3 times, not expected from an ex-world champion. The corner on which he forgot to brake was really sad, i mean he is overtaking that fellow not realising that he needs to brake and take the corner.
