China GP: Race notes - Red Bull
Honda's Chinese Grand Prix ended pretty much as it began today with drivers Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button locked together as they brought home a fourth consecutive double points finish for the team. Having started from 3rd and 4th on the grid, they finally ended the 56-lap race with Jenson 4th and Rubens 6th after a race-long battle in the changeable wet-dry-wet conditions.

McLaren Mercedes driver Pedro de la Rosa finished today's action packed Chinese Grand Prix in fifth place - gaining two places on the final lap. Team mate Kimi Raikkonen retired on lap 19 due to a failure of the engine throttle mechanism.
The Renault F1 Team finished a dramatic Chinese Grand Prix in second and third positions this afternoon in Shanghai. Fernando Alonso's second place finish came after a race in which the Spaniard dominated in both the wet and the dry. However, two crucial periods of the race cost him vital track time. The first came at the end of the stint when, after discussions with Fernando and Michelin, the team chose to change the severely worn front tyres only. As Fernando returned to the track, he was unable to regain his previous level of performance - and was rapidly caught by Giancarlo Fisichella and Michael Schumacher behind.
Red Bull Racing narrowly missed out on points at Shanghai today as David Coulthard finished ninth and team mate Doornbos recovered from a first lap pit stop to finish twelfth.
