The 2008 Chinese GP Preview
Lewis Hamilton's calm, measured approach from Singapore went out the window in the the first seconds of the Japanese Grand Prix, and so did any hope of points, while Felipe Massa didn't do a lot better. Both need to improve in China
This year's championship seems to be the one that nobody wants to win. Reigning champion Kimi Raikkonen has drifted in and out of contention during an under-par season before crashes at Spa and Valencia put and end to his hopes. With Renault not quick enough for most of the year, double champion Fernando Alonso was never really in it. Neither was Heikki Kovalainen.
Robert Kubica and BMW Sauber shouldn't really be in after their quiet patch mid-season, but somehow Hamilton and Massa have contrived to produce another three-way contest in the final two races - just like last year.
