The race was interesting from the very beginning, however there was no accident in the muddle after the start. Michael Schumacher started from the last position this time, but still managed to come 12th. Rubens Barrichello, who was leading from the beginning to the end, except for short periods in the pits, won the GP of China. J.Button was the 2nd and Kimi Räikkönen 3rd. Something I have not witnessed for a long time happened during the race, when G.Bruni lost his wheel and it rolled somewhere outside the track. He limped to the pitstop where the race finished for him. J.Villneuve had his comeback to F1 in one of the Renaults. Rubens Barrichello could enjoy congratulations on the circuit not only from his teammate Michael and the team manager J.Todt, but above all from the Fiat's chairman and President of Ferrari Luca di Montezomolo, who also collected the prize on the podium. He accepted the Champagne shower with a smile on his face. McLaren seems to have risen from the ashes and gets competitive again. B.A.R. Honda ensured its second place in the Constructors Table. The team's manager could not hide the joy he felt when J.Button crossed the finish line. There very typically 2 to 3 pitstops, the circuit was very fast, as was expected.
