BGP are in deep Sh#t.  JB is 10kg lighter than Hambone in 5th and 20kg than Webber on pole.  Rubens is only 3kgs heavier than his team mate.  Jens was clearly fuelled for pole and and a long middle stint and blew it.  His last middle sector was crap! They need to jump the Red Bull at the off or the day will be long and hard, wet or dry.  Webber is not the greatest starter on earth and he's heavy. I have to say, the RBR cars are beginnig to look remarkably like Brawn clones and Macca have virtually rebuilt their car - hope it cost them a fortune! :lol: [I do hate swaggering show offs].  Time for Jenson to show us what he's really made of.  I hope it rains hard here and there and we have a fine spectacle to watch.  Q2 was ace.

TYPO: Had to check some fuel loads.

Hmm, I see some grass and maybe some weeds, but no moss.

(Damn, that was horrible).

I'm embarrassed for you :P Actually I quite liked that effort!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That was a sorta interesting quali session, or at least it seemed like it might have been, I wasn't really paying that much attention due to gaming factors. Glad for Webber, he has a good fuel load and the Brawn's don't look awfully fast if conditions remain the same. Tomorrow is his best chance of shaking off any criticisms people might have raised against him before; I wish him well.

Red Bull's reaction to his pole was very telling.

It's Webber's race to lose. Would be pleasantly surprised to see Sutil in points, but dreading the prospect of jingoism by Indian media & people. As for Ferrari, I think Massa had said they have good race pace but not in quali. If that's the case, then hoping for another good drive from him.

And Kimi too.

Kimi Raikkonen: It is the same thing that I said before. I have no interest in driving for a bad team next year. If I race here, I always try to finish as high as I can. I don't need anything to motivate me. If I drive, I drive to do my best and that is it.

I just always end up disagreeing with you guys because of all the huge exaggerations, myths, theories & unjustified statements
Lewis Hamilton:
I never go with expectations, I go with a target. That is to be at the front, and the ultimate aim to win, which is the mentality I have always gone racing with.
You've got to be on the limit all the time - and I love that, because that's how I love to race.

I do wish they soon find a good Indian driver. Its high time people in India start choosing the career they are good at. Not all of us have to be IT engineers and doctors or work in call centers.

The record book would say otherwise i.e. the Red Bull / Williams unreliability.

It's Webber's race to lose because he starts from the best possible position, with the best fuel load. Red Bull have a good mechanical record so far this year, although it wouldn't be surprising to see Webber suffer their first(?) failure of some sort this season, the guy seems to have a black cloud over him sometimes (will probably have a few above him tomorrow).

The cloud he may over him tomorrow may actually help him win the race, but Vettel will be a mencaing sight in his mirrors. Barichello and Button and Lewis are the other rain masters who will be happy to see the dark clouds.

I'm sure a dry race would suit Webber just fine, less of a lottery and he'd still be in the best position.

Great pole for Mark well deserved. Should have been on pole in Silverstone if Kimi hadn't messed up his entry into Stowe. But thats history now.

This race will be an exact replay of Silverstone but with Mark and Seb the other way around in my opinion. Mark will romp away whilst Seb will be held up by either one of or both of the Brawns in the opening stint of the Grand Prix. And i'm not worried at all at the chance of rain Mark showed in China this year he has Seb covered for pace in the wet, along with the expirence as well.

Bring it .....

Ummmm.... sorry guys for my absence if in fact you have noticed, been so busy with work and various other ventures. You guys even have a new look forum to boot. Hoping that I can be online a little more in future.

Rain all day? Sounds like good news to RBR... I predict Alonso and, sadly, Hammy to climb the ladder.

Anyone know a good functioning live video? PM if you do, tis appreciated.

Fantastic news - First win in the wet will make it all the more sweet for Mark  :D

Us Aussies are going to have a great day, Mark Webber victory and a win in the fisrt test in the Ashes series.

Excuse me, that was a puncture from clipping Webber, or Webber clipping him, depending on how you see it. I don't think it's any worse than, say, spinning on the warm up lap :P
