Formula One Motor Racing

[purch]

Let's hope there is another Trulli train and Fisichella gets away by 20 seconds. But I am dreaming.

Fisi (and Rubens for that matter) might need a 5+ second lead at the first stop given that they will be stopping earlier than Trulli, Heidfeld and Kimi.

Cars to watch in that list are the 2 Red Bulls and Kimi IMO, though Toyota and BMW look strong here as well. Its a long lap so more time than usual could be made up if you stop 2 or more laps later. Plenty of overtaking to be had hopefully!!

We don't get One HD up here - only damn Fox Sports 1, 2 & 3! Can't beleive they don't show the world's premier motor racing series on one of those channels!

So if I can't find a stream I won't be watching. What a prick!

What a shame Purch. Missing out on one of the most beautiful circuits of the world. That and Le Mans.

You are right about the time made up per lap when taking a pit-stop. Let's hope no-one ends up crushing a mechanic like in GP2.

And let's hope no one has a moment like Stefano Coletti @ Eau Rouge:

So who will win tonight?

Despite what I've said about him throughout the week, I reckon Raikkonen could be the man...

Should be a ripper race...

Lets go for an upset victory with Robert Kubica. It is about time BMW return to form.

Although, the more likely winning combination for mine is Lewis Hamilton. No real reason though.

Yep, Kimi could be the one to watch along with the 2 BMWs. A lot will depend on what happens at La Source on Lap 1.

Got a live stream (in Chinese) better than nothing...let's hope it stays online

Remember the massive pile up exiting La Source back in '98? Biggest multi car crash I've ever seen in F1.

That's definately right up there...maybe with Austria 1987? There was 3 restarts IIRC

Kimi, Webber and Rosberg all winners out of that start.

Your not wrong there.

Looks like another topsy turvy SPA GP.

Webber to start the Japenese Grand Prix race from the pit lane.

Oh dear. Did anyone see Glock's crash? From the in car camera it seemed like he had a fair amount of steering lock on but the front wheels weren't turning. Steering column perhaps? Timo is currently being attended to by the medics. I hope he's OK

Raikkonen rumoured for Webber's F1 seat:

I'd be very surprised. Webber has a contract for next year and has certainly done enough to retain the seat. I expect Raikkonen will return to McLaren. Kovalainen is a pretty average/run of the mill driver... I'd love to see someone with real speed alongside Lewis next year...

Barrichello grabs Brazil pole position. Pips out Webber

Congrats to Webber for winning in Brazil. Also to Button for winning the championship

[Browny25]

Well done Webber! Glad to see he got another victory!

[Cambridge Clarrie]

Yep, great effort. Hopefully he is in the Red Bull next year and can give himself his best chance at a title.

I'm a huge Webber fan but I reckon that he's perhaps a few years late though... Drivers like Vettel and Hamilton will be fighting it out in the coming years.

Having said that, who would ever have thought that Button would be World Champion 12 months ago???

[ORDoubleBlues]

Well done to Webber. Hopefully a couple of wins this year should see his future a bit more secure.
