The Spanish Formula One Grand Prix was another fine race. An
exciting start, with Spanish driver Fernando Alonso getting his Ferrari
ahead of the two Red Bulls to lead the race, loads of overtaking,
different pitstop strategies and a great battle between eventual winner
Sebastian Vettel and 2nd placed driver Lewis Hamilton in the closing
10-15 laps. Red Bull might have won again, but it looks as if McLaren is
going to give them a real run for their money this year.
