Are you saying that the Alonso Fan Club is private?
I thought you would have been happy that more people are jumping on the Little Miss Sunshine bandwagon.

Nice job Finn

Personally, I am hoping the racing surface begins to break up, Alonso hits a pothole, breaks the suspension, blows an engine and records a DNF ... Good Morning Raj, no rush, have a cup of coffee first

I picked Webber, check the poll. I just don't have anything else to say about it.

I am amazed at how rabid Alonso fans are, to the point of taking it personally. I could care less if you (collectively "you", not personally, Raj) like Webber or not. I like Webber and his personality, even though I admit that he is not the fastest and can be a bonehead out on the track sometimes. I remember when he was soldiering along in slower cars, qualifying well up in the grid from where the car deserved to be, and never once complaining about the team or car. That is my kind of person and driver. He deserves a WDC, IMHO.

F1: Korea Surface Won’t Break Up Insists Tilke

The designer of Korea International Circuit is confident the track's newly-laid surface will hold up well this weekend...

Hermann Tilke on Wednesday sounded confident the newly laid track surface at Yeongam will survive this weekend's inaugural Korean Grand Prix.

With the top layer so recently laid and oils still seeping to the surface, it is feared this event could be a repeat of Spa in 1985, when the F1 cars had to go home because the track broke up.

But Tilke, the architect who designed the 5.6km layout, said he is not worried about the strength of the surface.

Instead, he predicted it will be a challenge for the drivers.

"It will probably have little grip in the beginning. But they are the best drivers in the world and must cope with it," the German, whose company provided machinery and expertise for the laying of the asphalt, told DPA news agency.

"It will be very slippery in the beginning. But the track will become faster by the seconds until Sunday," he added.

Hermann Tilke designed Korea International Circuit.
Also sounding bullish on Wednesday was McLaren's chief engineer Phil Prew, who had worried about the state of the brand new asphalt before arriving in Korea.

"I walked the circuit this morning and the track surface didn't look too bad," he told reporters during a teleconference.

"It wasn't particularly greasy underfoot and it looked - from what you can tell - smooth, well-laid and consistent all the way around," added Prew.

Any weather predicitons for the weekend?

In addition to Spa 85, IIRC Montreal had some asphalt issues in recent memory.

2007 IIRC ... They were putting down some nasty smelling quick curing sealant/cement right before the start of the F1 race (they postponed it for a few minutes for this reason).

Walking the track after the race ... the pavement was definitely coming up in this one corner.

I like him, and remember his first race in the points for Minardi, it was like he won the GP Webber's shown himself to be consistent and fast this year, beyond my expectations, and not afraid to speak his mind. I think he is very deserving, especially because he's not Red Bull's best Boy Wonder. My 6 year old chose him for WDC at the beginning of this year, and was disappointed that his uncle brought him a Vettel hat back from Canada. If Fernando can't do it I hope it goes to Webber

See you this weekend, Larry?
