Description
The 2007 Chinese Grand Prix was won by Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen, capturing the team's historic 200th Formula One victory. Held on 7 October 2007 at the Shanghai International Circuit, this race is widely remembered for a dramatic championship-altering error by McLaren's Lewis Hamilton.

Championship leader Lewis Hamilton arrived in China with a 12-point lead over teammate Fernando Alonso, needing a podium finish to secure the world title with one race to spare.
Hamilton secured pole position, followed closely by Kimi Räikkönen and Felipe Massa.
The Turning Point: On a drying track, McLaren left Hamilton out too long on heavily worn intermediate tires. As his canvas-exposed tires lost all grip, he was finally called in on lap 31. The Pit Lane Disaster: Hamilton slid off into the small gravel trap right at the pit lane entrance. The car beached, resulting in the first race retirement of his F1 career.
