Whoopi Doo! It's HAMMERTIME....!

Let's all act like a bunch of idiotic school kids - you kiddies first!

I was impressed with the Mclarens qualifying at Fuji so i hope for dry race as its not as much of a Lottery.

Oh, is there a race this weekend? I thought it was a new F1 game added to the national lottery...

[ferrari-passion]

For the rest who can carry a discussion -

I wonder how BMW is going to approach this... should they just go aggressive on strategy and hope that the rest fall apart and they sneak a championship from the back door...?

It's not impossible.
Only problem is that Kubica just couldn't live with Alonso on pure pace in Japan.

Funny that, i thought that Ferrari worringly couldnt live with Kubica? How many times did Kimi try and fail to pass him??

Alonso and Kubica are feeding off the scraps left by Mclaren and Ferrari. Its a two-way scrap. It could be over this weekend as i think Massa is more mentally fragile than Hamilton.

I think BMW will go balls out, so will KR under team orders. None have anything to loose. Very light on fuel to get them at the front and leave Lewis and Massa following under pressure.

Cant wait!

Has LH used his Joker engine yet? New engines at China and Brazil if not - may be advantageous?

I don't think LH has used it.

Ferrari had the better pace on the straight, but Kubica's defence was very very solid.

If there are no more dramas, Hamilton, Massa, and Kimi will walk it.

If there are dramas, Alonso and Kubica just might eke in another podium or win.

No.

You cant use it at the last race so he has a new engine in China but an old one in Brazil.

I think Ferrari are out of sequence so the have an old engine in China but a new one for Brazil.

[JeremyK]

I just hope nobody locks their wheels and runs wide going into turn one at the start. Wouldn't want to see a penalty or 20 given.

Yes correct - Alonso, Kubica, Kimi and Massa are all on old engines for China. Lewis and Heiki (obviously with DNF) both on new.

OK, thanks for the info.

Strange how McLaren didnt play their joker? On one hand its a "free" bonus but then again the engines seem reliable....oh no wait hang on...!
