Is it really that difficult to click on "Formula 1" rather than "General Motorsport"?

I am not sure if he is being ironic or not. I think he is serious.. I think he still believes that this is an equal fight..

Awww... bless.. wink

If Webber wins, it will be because RB management allow him to win.

Same goes for Massa at Ferrari too I suspect.

I think providing the points haul was the same for Ferrari, they would. ie. they will allow him to beat Alonso providing the title is over, providing the net points haul for constructors is the same.

If Vettel is crowned this weekend, which he more than likely will, I'd quite like to see Red Bull put Riccardo and Vergne in the RB9s for the rest of the season and put Seb and Mark into the TRs and see how well they get on.
If Mark finishes well and Seb wins they could have both of the championships sewn up on Sunday and have nothing to lose by doing so. It may even make the racing more interesting.

It'll also show how much is car and how much is driver if Riccardo got in Sebs car and ran away with it. wink

So Vettel ahead in practice, everyone makes a collective groan..

McLaren looking desperate and tried a radical setup that according to Button hasn't worked, back to square one.

Grosjean says he'd like Hulk as a team mate, he's been fast today with the Mercs.
It seems Lotus are likely to retain him and pick between Hulk and Maldonado for the other seat.
Kimi has possible sneaked off and sent someone else to drive his car as he's nowhere in FP2.
Bottas in the top 10 for first practice.
JEV hanging out with the caterhams and marussias down the back, the STR seems to have lost some of its early season sparkle.

Lets see what FP3 and qualifying brings for the 2nd WCC place fight.

Red Bulls are they're chewing up their 'softs' which might throw a spanner in the works at the start ...well until they swap onto the mediums that is

I'm excited about it. Just as excited as when I watched my first GP back in the mid 80s.

I've read the driver interviews ahead of this weekend. I cannot wait till qualifying tomorrow and the race on Sunday. I'm looking forward to seeing if Webber can challenge Vettel. And if he can't then I'm looking to see some great battles further down the field.

The track is fantastic to see the cars on. Good overtaking spots then some fantastic sweeping curves to watch them through. Those who say it's a crap circuit need to open their mind a little.

And the timing of the race means I can enjoy a slight lie-in, watch the race and then still have most of the rest of the day free. And it's live on BBC, so I can see it for free smile

What's not to like?

Oh and we're likely going to see someone win a 4th world title - that doesn't happen often.
Even more exciting than all that - Hamilton does it all for the sake of the children: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/24663755hehehehe

I'm quite disappointed at Kimi's times against in P1 and P2. Looks like it will be another weekend where he is off the pace in qually and coming from behind in the race.

I'm guessing most people only show their favourite forums - so when a user needs to go looking, 9/10 times they don't bother.

One thing is really starting to bug me. Why does seemingly everyone in the F1 paddock say "for sure" all the time.

It's been happening for a while now, and it's getting worse, for sure.

?? They're all chewing up the softs. RBR will still have a big advantage.
