Alonso is CLEARLY laying a trap for the rest of the field by sandbagging.....either that or he's in his motorhome packing his bags.

If THAT doesn't get Sir A. Wayne out of the Lewis Hamilton Man Cave, nothing will

Love the new avatar ITC.

Piquet seems to be catching up to Alo a bit......

I hope Piquet beats the socks off Alonso...or as we call him at work...big head Fred.

I did notice that. A novice such as myself would think that if the cars are setup the same, and a rookie drover catches the Alonsoegoman, that would mean they were equal drivers, no?

Todsimpson

Did anyone else notice Hamilton hounding Kovalainen at the beginning of Q2? Repeatedly showing his nose, locked up the fronts a few times...Hammy wanted that front position.

The commentators missed it of course.

Kovalainen and Hamilton have been dropped 5 places in the grid for blocking in the closing laps of Q3. Starting 8 and 9.

...should be an interesting start

Flying Finn

Won't happen any time soon, J.R. really isn't much of a wheelman... Him and his dad can talk the talk though...

I saw it too, and of course commentators missed it... Glad Kovalainen beat Hamilton!
I hope he stays in front of him at the start, if he does, it will be interesting.

Kimi is heavier than Massa so if his car doesn't break, Kimi will have no problems of passing Massa by making couple of flyers after Massa pits.

I hope it either rains constantly for the whole race or doesn't rain at all.

Todsimpson

I don't think they meant to do it, but yeah, they blocked.

It's funny, since Hamilton accused the BMW's of "blocking" last week during Q3, when they were fighting for pole.

PTurbo965

That's some good news. Maybe they will pay a little more attention in future sessions.

Now I wonder if Massa has enough fuel to go more than 6 or 7 laps.

Lothar

Hamilton and Kovalainen would have been better off taking another flyer. That would have kept them out of Heidfeld's way. That definitely shows poor communication on the mart of the McLaren team. That's what radios are for.

MM-Racing

It helps a bit for Kubica I hope he ll be on the podium at last. He's deserve it. I hope he has more fuel than Heidfield this time

PTurbo965

Hamilton's grid position will give him a chance to show what he's made of. MS could still win from there with that car.

MM-Racing

Ferraris will go away smothty. The struggle will be on third place only. There are two long streights were BMW could have problems.

mdrums

Well I am a Hamilton fan so now with Hamilton and Kovalainen starting further back we will get to see how good they really are.

MJSpeed

+1...piquet sr is 3 time champ. So he unlike his son can walk the walk!

as for the race I hope it rains a lot and no safety car episodes!!
