By a hair.

Young gun poster boy Nano Alonso beat out the Schumster, but just barely. I wanted the win, but given the season they're coming off from, 8 points is a very solid start. The proverbial silver lining is that the 248 F1 has the pace, and that Herr Schumacher looks like he still wants title number 8.

Felipe Massa came in a lowly 10th. He made a rather elementary error early in the race (selecting the wrong gear for Turn 1 and consequently spinning), then got his stop botched by a wheelgun that refused to fire. Six days to go till Sepang.
