Well that's it then HAMILTON on pole with the fastest time of 1-18.404,

Raikkonen 2ND Kovalainen 3rd, 4th Alonso, And would you believe it Massa only 5th..now for Sundays race LETS keep fingers crossed and all goes well for Hamilton !!!!!!!!!!!!

Massa,imo, has no chance of winning this race without cars dropping out in front of him or safety car incidents. History, I believe, shows that Massa only wins races from the front row of the grid as he is not a racer who overtakes.

Hamilton does not need to race for a win, like he did in every race last year. Finishing in front of Massa is waht he should aiming for and hopefully he is now mature enough to settle for this rather than glory with the risks this brings.

Massa,imo, has no chance of winning this race .

Although, thinking about it, and to totally conradict myself the speed of the Ferraris in a straight line and the length of the pit straight, which is possibly the longest on the F1 circuits, may well give Massa opportunity to pass under slipstreaming.


Anyways it's gonna be well exciting

Renault apparently say Hamilton blocked Piquet in Q2 and have complained... and we all know what that'll lead to...

Well you'd think nothing as Renault have not put in an official protest. There is probably some unwritten law that says Ferrari can protest on their behalf though...that is the only way Massa is gonna beat Hamilton bar Lewis crashing or breaking down.

I watched q2 this morning and hamilton moved aside at that moment so there is no reason they should put in a appeal unless as icy gull states that ferrari do for them await to see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weather at fuji cold. very cloudy.5-30 start, not long now.
BAD BAD start by hamilton now down to 18th after a shunt with massa now he's got it all two do!!!!!!! i pit stop already kubica leads with alonso 2nd

 

[the viscount]

Drive through penalties for massa and hamilton bourdais leads from piquet 2nd alonso looks good ?? engine failure for kovalainen now out.

harsh on hamilton for his drive through as it was on 1st corner ?.

41 laps to go,Raiklonen 4th, but it looks like alonso fav should have took that 14/1 on saturday.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Done Alonso a great drive for Renault,2 in a row, Massa gets 1 point Hamiliton nothing needs two get is act together and slow down and work harder on the track !!!!!!!!
now await for china !!!!!!

 

[Icy Gull]

Even if Hamilton deserved a drive through, which I don't think he did, Massa should have had a stop/go penalty which is a longer penalty than a drive through. Hamilton may have caused Raikkonen to lose a place or two but Massa's shunt, from outside the racing line into Hamilton put Hamilton to the back of the pack, so was deserving of harsher penalty than the predictable tit for tat cop out penalty by the stewards

Another contentious decision imo

Great drive by Alonso but a very thick start from Hamilton who tried to win the race in the 1st corner. If he doesn't start to drive the percentages in the last two races he's gonna throw away the Championship just like last season. Doesn't seem to have learnt a thing. His inabilty not to race all the time makes for great viewing though even if it is incredibly gormless

but Massa's shunt, from outside the racing line into Hamilton

From outside the track, more like.

 

[MORTY]

Massa just promoted to 7th because of that collision on lap 53? when that chap came out the pits. They've given him a 25 sec penalty promoting Massa up a place. Shocking

 

[the viscount]

That is shocking as the driver concerned had the right of way from the pits seems to me that all the stewards are in the pay of the ferrari team[ taking those brown envelopes no doubt]

hAMILTON will just have to go out and get two 2nd place results now!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bakesy]

Why don't the FIA just award the Championship to Massa now......it's so f***ing obvious that they are doing everything in their power to prevent Lewis from becoming World Champion.
