It's only luck if some idiot doesn't take you out after last nights fiasco.... :D

My Prediction

1. Mark Webber Australian RBR-Renault

2. Lewis Hamilton British McLaren-Mercedes

3. Jenson Button British McLaren-Mercedes


For the Championship?

Almost time for qualy at Monza.

Bad news for Webber so far this weekend. He had a water pressure issue in P2 yesterday and an engine problem this morning in P3. Both times he stopped on the track and lost the rest of the session & valuable time. McLaren look strong as expected, with Hamilton going for the low downforce/no F-duct setup and Button with the opposite. Those two, Vettel and the 2 Ferraris are all within a couple of tenths of each other.

Fingers crossed Webber doesn't require an engine change and incur the mandatory grid spot penalty [-o<

Well done to Alonso and Button..the class of the field by miles...

Gotta say that Webber drove a fantastic race after a poor start. Overtaking Schumacher, Kubica and Hulkenberg in one race, in a car that wasn't that was pretty much on par with a Mercedes, Renault and Williams...it was wonderful to watch.

Shame that Webber was held up by Hulkenberg for so long (still struggling to understand why he wasn't given a drive through penalty) as it would have been really sweet to see Vettel pop out behind Webber after pitting.

Decent result for Webdog last night, 6th isn't great, but it could've been worse and Hamilon didn't score, so not bad a bad day!

Q1 stopped after Massa blows an engine (his 9th - which would be a 10 place penatly, but he has not put a single lap up yet)

Fairly well played by Webber in the end to scramble into third.

Really should have done better in qualifying though and needs to capitalise on his car's superiority in the next race.

Suzuka's fast sweeping turns should see the Red Bull's lock out the front row.

Anything besides 1st or 2nd will be a failure for Webber...

I agree! Just needs to get through the 1st corner though - Seen some classics there in the past with Prost and Senna!

Probably my favourite track and I think that for drivers it would be hard to split Suzuka and Spa Francorchamps.

Love 130R turn. Better than Eau Rougue (at least the straightened out Eau Rouge) and up there with Copse as my favourite corner.
