Description

The 2008 Chinese Grand Prix was won by Lewis Hamilton driving for McLaren-Mercedes on 19 October 2008 at the Shanghai International Circuit. It served as the 17th and penultimate round of the highly competitive 2008 Formula One World Championship. By taking maximum points from pole position, Hamilton extended his drivers' championship lead over Ferrari's Felipe Massa to seven points, setting up the legendary title decider two weeks later in Brazil.
Dominant Hat-Trick: Hamilton perfectly redeemed his costly error from the previous round in Japan by securing a race "hat-trick"—taking pole position, the fastest lap, and the grand prix victory.
