Talk:2008 Chinese Grand Prix

Importance
I've dropped the page to mid importance (see here), to conform with the Belgian one. Apterygial (talk) 10:24, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

How many laps did Kovalainen do?
Official FIA website is showing as 32 laps, but I watched the race and he dropped out with 6 laps to go - 49 laps completed. Can anyone shed any light on the discepancy? Mjroots (talk) 16:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Forix and Formula1.com, including the live timing screens, say he completed 49 laps, unclassified as 7 laps adrift of the leaders. Bretonbanquet (talk) 16:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Kovalainen's problems
Kovalainen was slow during the race because his first set of front tyres was fitted the wrong way round, and then his team adjusted the set-up during his pit stop without realising what the problem was, causing him to have further handling problems on the second (correctly-fitted) set of tyres. This should probably be included in the article. It's somewhere in the year's Autocourse, I think (which I don't have access to at the moment). -- Diniz  (talk)  20:29, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I've added a section on it with Autosport and Finnish refs, and these refs can be changed to Autocourse later on. Fairly weird thing to happen, I can't remember ever seeing it happen before. Aptery  gial  00:30, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
