2008 Chinese Grand Prix

In 2007, the race was won by Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen with Fernando Alonso finishing second and Felipe Massa finishing third. Championship leader Lewis Hamilton retired from the race after going off on a wet pit entrance on worn tyres, leaving him stuck in the gravel.

The four Chinese Grand Prix have been won by different drivers, with in addition to Räikkönen, Rubens Barrichello (2004), Fernando Alonso (2005) and Michael Schumacher (2006) taking the honours.
