PEREZ -2ND, ALONSO - 1ST, HAMILTON - 3RD
Even with the one hour rain delay this was a good race. Fernando Alonso came in first by the skin of his teeth. Twenty-one year old Sergio Perez from Mexico had been pushing him very hard until he made a little mistake with six laps to go. Hamilton came in third and he mood seemed to be a little better than it was last week. I would liked to have seen Perez win, but it was not to be. Even so, he was the first time a driver from Mexico was on the podium in 41 years. I can picture Formula One fans in Mexico going nuts. If anyone remembers the brother Rodríguez you know what I am talking about.
This was Alonso's 28th Formula One win and he joins a very short list of others that have won that many. I am sure that he is the youngest to hit that 28 mark. Mark Webber came in fourth for the second race in a row. Kimi Räikkönen, who had been out of F1 for about 3 years, has done well on his return. Seventh last week and fifth this week, it won't be long.
