Massa in his Ferrari

Last Sunday at the new Valencia street circuit in Spain, with over 115,000 spectators packed into the grandstands in sight of the Mediterranean harbor, Felipe Massa won the European Grand Prix, just ahead of Lewis Hamilton. Massa started in pole position and drove a near perfect race the entire time after that.

Hamilton, who was reported to be suffering from a severe neck spasm before the race, said his neck was still sore but that he doubted it would be a problem for the Belgian Grand Prix in two weeks’ time.

Unfortunately, Kimi Räikkönen, reigning champion, is still having that bad luck he’s had since April; he retired this race after engine trouble.

Only six races are left and it is way to close to call any of the championships at this point. It’s going to be one of the big players, but we probably won’t know until the end.
