Well after a crazy 4 weeks off F1 was back in Spain at its beautiful street circuit. Hamilton and Hiekki locked the front row in qualifying but the reason for that was because they were both light on fuel. Rubens Barrichello drove a amazing race keeping up pace with Hamilton and Hiekki while having an extra 4 to 5 laps of fuel on board. But as the race progressed McLaren had a pit stop error which had him stuck in the pits for a solid 13 seconds. That error eventually cost Hamilton the win and gave Rubens his first F1 victory in almost 10 years. On a brighter note for Ferrari Kimi Rikkonin drove a amazing and error free race which equaled to his second consecutive podium finish, I'm not even gonna get into Ferrari's back up driver, this dude sucks so bad its not even funny he better not be racing for Ferrari next weekend. But on a sadder note i was very disappointed that Sabastion Vettle did not finish this race dude to engine failure
