[賽車] Brilliant Hamilton wins in Germany

Ferrari's Formula One champion Kimi Raikkonen struggled again at a German Grand Prix circuit that has given him plenty of heartache in the past. 公仔箱論壇6 m0 u" N; z" c/ Z3 W3 \

The Finn, tied on 48 points in the championship with McLaren's overall leader Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari team mate Felipe Massa, qualified sixth for Sunday's race with his two rivals together on the front row.
"All weekend long we have been struggling a bit to find a good set-up for the car," Raikkonen said.
"At the end of yesterday, it seemed we were on the right road and this morning we tried to improve still further down this path, but it was not the right one.
"Clearly, sixth place is not satisfying and tomorrow we won't be in for an easy time, but it's definitely not the end of the world," he added.
Raikkonen had started on pole position in his last two visits to Hockenheim with McLaren in 2005 and 2006, the last time the circuit hosted a grand prix.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb. n( Z5 z! d7 E0 m+ G$ u& }: z
On both occasions he was unable to convert the advantage into victory after mechanical problems.
Indeed, in six races at Hockenheim Raikkonen has only once finished in the points -- his third place in the most recent attempt in 2006.
The unflappable Finn will not lose too much sleep about the situation.
Last season, when he came back from 17 points down with two races remaining to snatch the title by a single point from Hamilton and the Briton's then team mate Fernando Alonso, showed that anything can happen.: }3 h! T- ^. _. Q0 ~8 v) k- k
Raikkonen also has a calmness that comes with having been there before.公仔箱論壇; |/ O3 `6 t1 f c& n
"If you look at a year ago, I was in a worse position than right now so I'm pretty happy," he told reporters at Hockenheim earlier this week.
"For sure, whatever is going to happen, if I lose it's probably not going to be hurting as much as if I weren't to have won it," he said of a title battle that has so far seen four different drivers lead the standings.公仔箱論壇5 j9 {% E3 ?3 q# ^5 L' Y

"So even when we have had bad races this year I have not been too worried about it because you can see how quickly it changes even this year."

Despite setting a blistering pace throughout, Hamilton nearly lost the race thanks to a tactical blunder by his team.

A big crash involving Timo Glock brought the safety car out but Hamilton, who was leading, opted not to take a pit stop and as a consequence was relegated to fourth after he pitted later in the race.

However, Hamilton used his superior pace to overtake Heikki Kovalained, Massa and Piquet, all at the same hairpin, to secure a magnificent victory.

Polesitter Hamilton led from pole position and immediately built a commanding advantage over Massa, while world champion Raikkonen continued to struggle with his set up and languished in the lower points positions.公仔箱論壇( W  t) J) e0 z% H: l6 l$ N  `

The 23-year-old seemed set for a routine win before Glock's crash just after half distance changed everything.

The German's Toyota suffered suspension failure entering the start-finish straight and smashed into the pit wall. Glock was taken to hospital, although Toyota said he had no visible injuries, and his retirement prompted the safety car to come out.

While the other front-runners all pitted at the first opportunity, McLaren bizarrely decided to keep Hamilton out. Massa emerged from his stop and caught up with the safety car, just 50 metres off the leader who still had to come in.

Hamilton proved unable to build a sufficient gap and emerged from his stop in fourth behind Piquet, Massa and team-mate Kovalainen with 16 laps remaining.

The Briton proved to be a myth the claim that there is no overtaking in Formula One, streaking past all three men and taking a huge step towards a first world championship.

Hamilton moves on to 58 championship points, four clear of Massa, seven ahead of Raikkonen and 10 ahead of BMW's Robert Kubica, who was seventh.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。; _6 E2 u1 P% K% _; R  G' M, u
