Chinese Grand Prix

Jenson Button won today's Chinese Grand Prix in the McLaren while teammate Lewis Hamilton finished second, and Nico Rosberg in the Mercedes rounded out the podium by finishing third.

Other notables included Fernando Alonso finishing fourth in the Ferrari, Sebastian Vettel finished sixth in the Red Bull, Vettel's teammate Mark Webber finished eighth, Alonso's teammate Felipe Massa finished ninth, and Rosberg's teammate Michael Schumacher finished tenth.

The 56-lap race at Shanghai was marred by rain for most of the time but turned out to be uneventful and saw a lot of pit stops for tire changes between the slicks and intermediates. With Schumacher's tenth place finish and other mediocre results to start the season, I'm wondering if Schumacher's heart is really in F1 right now and I'm sure I'm not the only one asking this question. I'm sure many will say it's because of the car or this and that, but Nico Rosberg has put up solid results so far and Schumacher has Button's engineer's from last year on his side so I don't think it's so much the car. Even if it was the car, Schumacher has done some amazing things with inferior cars with his stint at Benetton during the early-mid 90s being an example. I was also hoping Adrian Sutil in the Force India would finish in a stronger position since he started off strong and did well for most of the race but ended up finishing eleventh, just out of the points.

With the Chinese results, Button moves into top spot for the Driver's title with 60 points, while Rosberg has 50, Hamilton and Alonso both at 49, Vettel at 45, Massa at 41, while Robert Kubica in the Renault sits on 40.

The next race is the Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona in three weeks time.
