European Grand Prix 2008


European Grand Prix 2008 - click to view full size

Felipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton each had their own reasons to feel relieved after finishing first and second in a processional European Grand Prix.

Massa's win on the streets of Valencia wiped away the Ferrari driver's disappointment at retiring from the Hungarian Grand Prix three weeks earlier with a blown engine while leading with three laps remaining.

The Brazilian, who drove from pole position to chequered flag in masterful fashion, climbed the podium with the race outcome still uncertain pending a stewards' inquiry.

In the end he escaped with a 10,000 euro (NZ$20,874) fine, with stewards deciding that while his release from his second pitstop had been unsafe there was no sporting advantage gained.
