ast season, the title race was between Ferrari and Renault, but the main driver of Renault moved to McLaren this season, so Renault is out of the championship race. The four horses this season are Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, Pelipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton.

The four divers continuously occupy four first starting positions in every race so far. Three of them finished first in the first three races, with Kimi in Australia, Fernando in Malaysia, Felipe in Bahrain. In pre-season analysis, experts predicted that the championship title is between Kimi, Fernando and Felipe.

Lewis is a newbie, and they thought he needed more time to adapt in the harshest and most prestige competition in sport. Lewis has proved how fast he can get acquainted with the race. With three finishes in the top three, he only needs a few more races in order to have his first win ever.

As usual, Fernando performs steadily to prove why he is the reigning champion of F1. Kimi is great, with the victory in the first race, that's why the Ferrari team bought him to replace the great Michael Schumacher.

Filipe improves since last season's move to Ferrari with two wins last season in Turkey and Brazil. He is in great form and has the potential to dismiss Fernando this season. Lewis is phenomenal. He dominated F3 Euroseries with 15 wins in season of 2005, was champion of GP2 of 2006 season.

He's now putting his first attempt on F1, and I'm sure he will be the champion of this race soon.
