As the penultimate race of the 2008 season dawns upon us, the live blog will once again be discussing, analysing and providing commentary for the grand prix, this round being held in China. Lewis Hamilton has taken the pole position, but hot on his tail are both Ferraris and a rejuvenated Fernando Alonso. Also worthy of a mention is Hamilton’s team mate Heikki Kovalainen, who despite qualifying in fifth, ran well in Q1 and Q2, indicating pace and perhaps a heavy fuel-load. So join like-minded fans for the race that could, or could not decide the 59th Formula One World Championship.
