The 2008 Spanish Grand Prix (formally the L Gran Premio de España Telefónica) was a Formula One motor race held on April 27, 2008 at the Circuit de Catalunya, Spain. It was the fourth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 66 laps, was won by Kimi Räikkönen for the Ferrari team after starting from pole position. Felipe Massa finished second in the other Ferrari, and Lewis Hamilton was third in a McLaren.

Räikkönen began the race from pole position alongside Renault driver Fernando Alonso. Massa began from third, alongside BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica. Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, began from fifth and passed Kubica into the first corner, as Massa passed Alonso. Räikkönen maintained his lead through most of the race, leading to Ferrari's one-two finish. The safety car was deployed several times throughout the race, including for a serious crash involving McLaren driver Heikki Kovalainen, though the Finn escaped with only minor concussion.

Prior to the race weekend, the event was put on probation by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, the sport's governing body, for racist taunting during pre-season testing at the circuit. Subsequently, no such racism was reported during the race weekend. The event was Super Aguri's final Grand Prix, withdrawing afterwards due to financial pressures, leaving the sport with ten teams. Also, this was the last race for both of the team's drivers, Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson neither of them have driven in F1 since. The result promoted Ferrari to the lead in the Constructors' Championship, 12 points ahead of BMW Sauber and 13 points ahead of McLaren. Räikkönen extended his lead in the Drivers' Championship to 29 points, nine points ahead of Hamilton and ten points ahead of Kubica. Massa moved into fourth place on 18 points, with 14 races remaining in the season.

Nicole - Ein bißchen Frieden 2008 Mit diesem Lied gewann Nicole am 24. April 1982 als bisher einzige deutsche Vertreterin den Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson in Harrogate. Wie eine Blume am Winterbeginn Und so wie ein Feuer im eisigen Wind Wie eine Puppe, die keiner mehr mag Fühl ich mich an manchem Tag Dann seh ich die Wolken, die über uns sind Und höre die Schreie der Vögel im Wind Ich singe aus Angst vor dem Dunkeln mein Lied Und hoffe, dass nichts geschieht A little lovin', a little givin' To build a dream for the world we live in A little patience and understanding For our tomorrow, a little peace A little sunshine, a sea of gladness To wash away all the tears of sadness A little hoping, a little praying For our tomorrow, a little peace Que puis-je faire avec une chanson? Mais pourquoi me taire? Y'a pas de raison Pour faire la guerre, c'est mieux qu'un canon Y'a qu'à trouver l'unisson Paz y esperanza, ruego y anhelo al gran senor, que nos conceda que en este mundo en que vivimos para el manana un poco de paz. Ein bißchen Frieden, ein bißchen Träumen Und dass die Menschen nicht so oft weinen Ein bißchen Frieden, ein bißchen Liebe Dass ich die Hoffnung nie mehr verlier Sing mit mir ein kleines Lied (Ein bißchen Frieden, ein bißchen Träumen) (Und dass die Menschen nicht so oft weinen) Dass die Welt in Frieden lebt (Ein bißchen Frieden, ein bißchen Liebe) (Dass ich die Hoffnung nie mehr verlier) Singt mit mir ein kleines Lied (Ein bißchen Frieden, ein bißchen Träumen <b>...</b>
