Massa had the pole and took the lead at the start. Hamilton was gridded second and was passed at the start by Kimi who was third. Pretty much stayed like that until Kimi took over first by staying out a few laps later than Massa and turning in some great times. When Kimi pitted he came out ahead of Massa. First race of the year that Hamilton finished behind his starting position. Ferrari used a 2 pit stop strategy, Hamilton had 3 stops. He finished 3rd trailing by 30+ secs. Alonso never was a factor. Started tenth (maybe) and moved up some but never could get out of traffic. Button finished 8th for Honda scoring their first point. Albers left the pits with the fuel hose connected to his car. It stayed connected, ripped off the refueling rig. Never saw that before!

Scott Speed had a good race going until something broke in his car.

Awesome start for Raikkonen, then he won it in the pits. Happy to see this track gone from the schedule.
