European Grand Prix 2007

[fizsparky]

Lewis Hamilton's championship lead was slashed as he failed to score points in a dramatic European Grand Prix won by his McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso.

The Spaniard took the lead from Felipe Massa's Ferrari with five laps left in a race defined by rain showers.

Hamilton finished ninth and is now just two points ahead of the world champion, with Massa a further nine behind.

Mark Webber's Red Bull was third as Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen retired, dealing his title hopes a heavy blow.

The Finn was in third place behind Massa and Alonso when his engine started to cut out shortly after half distance and he was forced to retire.

Raikkonen remains 18 points behind Hamilton with a maximum of only 70 still available in the remaining seven races.

What a race...who said F1 was boring...lol

That race had all sorts of twists involved, dry, rain, dry, rain. Pity Lewis made a mistake going onto sleeks too early.

missed what sounds like a cracker of a race, taped the bikes (i must get sky +)
just noticed highlights are on council tv 11.45pm. maybe not the same knowing the results but then again an f1 race with plenty of action it must be worth a look
