fucking great race! thats what f1 needs, rain and plenty ofit. massa and kubica on the last lap was stunning if not stupid. kimi was a star. lewis is almost there. great great season indeed!

button at mclaren, yeah id love it but i reckon alonso wont go anywhere, he is too stubborn for that unless ferarri come knocking as they ship massa off to toyota when they say good riddance to ralf! great race, roll on china....

why is this thread still alive, because people post in it king buzzo. you dont like the sport, dont post in the thread....simple!

I can't see Alonso being able to live with a hostile MacLaren team, whatever his wishes. Hamilton's interview prior to today's race was very telling. Something about how the team had done all it could to make Alonso welcome, and then 'look what he did to the team'.

An amazing race, which managed to transcend recent controversies. Today was about racing, not back room intrigue, and it proved that in such a purely driver-led scenario, Kimi and Hamilton are head and shoulders above the rest. Hamilton especially gave the perfect drive today. Genuinely faultless.

All that today was totally compulsive viewing and also Bananas

[PAULYBEE2656]

remember about lewis's interviews. he is just stirring shit! he knows how to play the media. he is just having fun with them. i dont reckon there is ant problem with alonso and mclaren (well maybe with ron dennis) and lewis. they are just highly competitive people. alonso will see out his contract i reckon.

as for th race. i really felt sorry for mark webber. he was on for a great result and possibl win after puking his guts up in the helmet! vettel had a great race and he is another star in the making but a silly error cost him and mark and the whole red bull clongomerate a double podium. hats off to him for admitting guilt totally honestly.

china wont be as good but all lewis has to do is beat alonso to any point to clinch the first championship for a rookie driver. a legend in the making i reckon or is that stating the fucking obvious..............

[demonrail666]

Lewis gets pole with Alonso 4th. Looks increasingly like China might be the one.

Anythoughts on Hamilton's hearing yesterday?

[PAULYBEE2656]

yep i have one big tought...... BULLSHIT! it took em 5 days and a fucking youtube video to go and complain about lewis's pace car running???? cmon, the rule states that he should keep a certain distance behind the car. its not his job to disiplne the rest of the field. if you ran into someone on the road from behind, you would be to blame regardless of the situation, the same applies under safety cars. webber almost overtook him many times, why did lewis slow down, because he couldnt see with the rain and almost hit the safety car himself........ it was a load of crap, as for alonso backing up the arguements, well he is a loyal team player isnt he!!!?,

lewis was commanding in quali, but i reckon it will be a ferrari 1-2 with alonso batling with lewis. it could be decided tommorrow but it could and maybe will carry over for a 3 way fight in brazil......i can dream....

weather tomorrow.... hellawet!

[demonrail666]

Unbelievable what happened today. Lewis really did have it in the bag. The idea of Alonso maybe taking the title is too depressing even to contemplate.

[PAULYBEE2656]

another great race. lewis was unlucky, his tyres were fucking shot! you could see the canvas of the tyre for 2 or 3 laps. his pitstop was just unfortunate mistake and at least he had the honesty to say the same!

alonso to win title, yep, that would be an injustice of sorts kimi to win, now that would be incredible, he certainly deserves a shout at it anyway even if he is driving a ferrari.

ok we now have a three way fight for the championship in brazil... i wasnt dreaming after all!!!! im still backing lewis for the fairytale ending!!!!

[demonrail666]

Will be interesting to say Hamilton's face on the podium if he finishes third and Alonso wins, thus gaining the title. I know people say it's for the cameras but it really does seem as though Hamilton loathes Alonso.

I'm wondering though, if Hamilton does win, how long he'll stick with F1. He's already said how much he hates the politics and I get the feeling he just wants to win everything. If he becomes F1 champion, and especially if he retains the title next year, we may see him go to the US, to see if he can conquer Indy and Nascar.

[the ikara cult]

I couldnt beleive that race yesterday, but i think everyone except Hamilton is happy its going down to the last race. It hasnt been like that for years so lets hope its a goodun. Im tempted to have a small wager on Raikonnen to nick it, I can imagine some terrible incident involving Alonso and Hamilton racing for the lead.

[PAULYBEE2656]

yep. a mclaren scrappage deal may be on the cards especially if they are on the front row. as for lewis leaving, nah, he will be around for a long time and with mclaren..... he is living his boyhood dream and he wont quit the place he loves... why should he? he is about to become champion at 22 for fuck sak! i say fair play to him, regardless of spying or whatever, a truly great f1 story! the only non deserving champ would be alonso, so let hope he gets the scrap wrong a la schumacher vs villeneuve jerez 1997!

[PAULYBEE2656]

ok, here we go. the weekend is here........

same here for many things ( FUCKING RUGBY TOO, world cup final, uff), but not for F1...yet.

[nicfit]

yes, I already used sopcast for a couple games, I'll try again later, but it kinda sucks coz back in the days we would just hang on the couch watching a big tv screen rather than sitting in front of a lame pc

[PAULYBEE2656]

jeez. i have to pay (if i wanted to) for the premier league footy, a1gp (which ireland could well win this year!)and the irl but there is always match of the day and highlights shows on channel 5, sorry 5ive, after that most shit is free to air. there is legislation regarding f1 tv rights and i thought that they had to supply free to air coverage to countries, well saying that, f1 isnt aired on irish terresrtial tv, just on the pay setanta sports sattelite thingy but we get english stations here and its still free to air on the itvs......

massa vs lewis turn one? i fancy lewis has this one, unless he is pushed off. alonso looked relativly nowhere in the qualis.

any of you guys have the motors tv channel on satellites, thats fucking awesome. great racing live on it. eurosport is great too for the wtcc, champ cars and the bikes but motors covers the dtm and tonnes of as live reruns

oh yeah... champ cars in surfers paradise austrailia this morning at 4am or something... worth checking out big time!

[demonrail666]

Weirdly nervous about today's race. Hamilton ahead of Kimi and Alonso on the grid so all should go to plan but, as we know, Lewis has a bit of a wild streak that might see him tussling with Massa into that first corner.

[PAULYBEE2656]

id more fear massas wild streak to be honest! massa takes lewis out, delays alonso, kimi wins! i know you cant do team orders (one of the dumbest ruls ever in the history of dumb rules) but there is ways around it!

Eww, if Massa took Hamilton out it'd be enquiry city. If I were Lewis I'd give the race to Massa. Let him run off into the distance and just keep some distance between himself and Kimi and Alonso - who I think are really just hoping that Lewis has to retire over something. Given the whole 'fair play' thing going on within Maclaren, I don't think Alonso would dare pull a dodgy move on Hamilton (assuming he even gets close enough to him) and it seems like Kimi has already given up on the idea of winning the title through racing.

So long as Hamilton gets around the first corner intact I think it'll be a fairly dull race, with both Alonso and Kimi resigning themselves to defeat. At least that's what I hope.

[PAULYBEE2656]

yeah but whats alonso got to lose? he aint gonna be with mclaren next year and massa winning the race isnt gonna help kimi and ferrari are immune to all fia rulings as we all know. so i reckon massa will head off at the slowest possible pace, back up the mclarens to a point where something will give. allow kimi to fly ahead and then hope that the mclarens will trip up on each other. i dont reckon it will happen but you cant rule anything out this year....
