Kubica seems to do well in qualifying, then drops down the race.

Judging from the latest satellite photos the chance of a wet race are zero. There isn't a raincloud within (roughly) 1000km of the circuit.

I wonder if ol' eyebrows has enough fuel to make it back to the pits on lap one.

Fernando did an astonishing job today, I didnt think he would be in front of the Ferrari-McLaren-BMW trio...

That shark fin in the back seems to be doing very well.

But maybe this is tricky because of fuel loads? hm... tomorrow we'll see, I can't wait too!. Hope he wins

Your talking of Fernando arent you? hahaha this made laugh very hard :speakcool:

 

[simonpro]

Fernando is eyebrows, yes. Also known as "mr ego" and, today, "mr nofuel".

Anyone else expecting a boring race today?

 

[Poscik]

There might are few collisions, because asphalt is wet. I'm thinkink that Robert Kubica will be on 3rd place.

Kovalainen gone into a tyre wall at speed.

Edit: He's gone to the medical centre on a stretcher, and given a thumbs-up to camera.

Alonso just broke the car. :dry:

Kimi's the best

If you want real racing, today's GP was pretty boring.:dry:

I hope to see Kovalainen back in the car soon. Latest reports say "no visible sign of injury". Those tubs really do their job incredibly well.

Looks like Ferrari are going to be hard to beat, should be fun with Hamilton/Alonso though.

It is good to see Mark Webber in the points again. His best season since 2005, so far.

Great drive from Alonso. Too bad he had to push the engine so hard to stay in front of Hamilton he blew up. Funny how McLaren aren't doing as good without Alonso and Renault is just getting better with him. I always knew Alonso was a great driver and he's probably the best guy in the field who's able to get the maximum out of any car anytime. Kimi is good, but he has alot of off days and very bad luck. I was very scared to see HK crash, but good to hear he is ok. It didn't look good with him buried under the tires. hmy:
