Europe 2007

Abe kya race yaar....kya race thi...
ok..it was bout to rain..
All were on dry!!! Formation lap..!!!21 drivers on grid.. Marcus Winklehock pulls into pits and switches from dry to intermediates!!!!
Race begins.....GO!!!! and the drama starts... Half lap done and it starts pouring...
Suddenly there was sliding, drifting, loss of grip, punctures, gravel, grass...everything!!!
Everyone had to pull into pits...Fastest lap went to the debutant Marcus Winklehock in the Spyker...
He overtook 21 cars inlcuding an on track overtaking of Kimi Raikonnen...that was so ET to watch that...ha ha!!! Kim could do nothing but struggling desperately to keep his tires on track and he flew past by...
he he
Than race was halted after a multi- car pile up at turn one that included Button, Hamilton, Sutil, Roseberg, Speed and Liuzzi..

When race was restarted it was back to business... Filipe and Fernando overtook the first placed Spyker in 1 single straight.....Winklehock yielded all he earned in first couple of laps..

Massa held Fernando for most of the race. It dried and Filipe found himself in a comfortable position... Suddenly rain returned. Fernando came alive, ate up the 6 second gap and overtook Massa with just 4-5 laps remaining after a bitter duel. They touched too for which they exchanged word later too with Fernando on receiving side. He apologised too in press conf but Massa didnt took that...of crs :D
Well......Winklhock got into record books to have led a Formula One race on his debut.
