Very exciting, snactching pole away after the clocks stopped... Kimi will be filthy about the last corner off track excursion. Now he starts on the VERY dirty side of the track along with Massa

Hopefully should be a good race

whatever. you can hope its a good un but i can guarantee with absolute certainty it WILL be a good one and if it isnt ill eat my undies.

noted.

I've never been a fan of alonso's, and to be honest, I think he's a bit of a hack, but I am actually enjoying seeing him race now.

It seems like he's pulled his head in a bit, and realised that he's got to beat some pretty talented people in some damn fine cars to have a hope of getting decent points.

He set the fastest lap of qualifying too.

The start will be where it's at. Massa and Kimi on the crappy side, McLarens on the rubber. Alonso will almost certainly try to squeeze out Raikkonen, but it should be entertaining to watch.

I do hope Hamilton does not win though. I like the kid and all, but all freaking week it's been in ev ery paper about the rappers he's playing golf with, about the social outings he's had.... I really feel a bit over him.

Still, Webber had some pace, and he could score some points if things go well. Sato is pushing sh!t uphill, but will be as entertaining as always.

I'll start doing a rain dance tonight.

Wow.... Clouding up already!

If we asume no mistakes, which to me it didntlook like there were any, Hamilton's best in Q2 with a 1:19:400, and the pole was 1:19:99, difference of about 0.5 secs

Alonso did his best on 1:19:1, and in Q3 made 1:20:1, which is a whole 1 second more than his best. I'm guessing he is much heavier, by several laps laps, than hamilton. Could be wrong but that seems like way too much of a difference considering how fast and how consistant Alonso was during all the quali sessions.

The commentators were saying that the track was really hard on tyres, so the super-soft might deteriorate pretty quick. Alonso did the 1:19.1 on the mediums, so look for him to burn out the white stripes asap.

Also, Alonso's garage seem to be declining to share strategy with Hamilton, so it could be an absolute pearler!

Good race, lots of things happening... Massa's stalling has cost him third place in the championship and he is now where he belongs among the top 4. Kimi was very stong, was great watching him tail lewis at the end of the first stint.

Alonso look really quick for the first time in a long time it felt like. He's still very dirty about having to give away all his data to his team mate which he feels negate's any advantage he may be able to develop to pull in old hamo's points advantage. And speaking of Hamilton, it was entertaining watching his struggle quite badly and ITV havng to come up with excuses for him. Their website is still mentioning him any chance they get

... and what was with the slow down lap footage? We were watching Hamilton wave to the crowd for a good 20 seconds when we could have been watching Massa v Kubica in the dying corners? Im sick of hearing about and even looking at this kid and he's driving for the team i support

GO Kimi! nice work. it seems hamilton didn't stand up too well this time. and yes the comentators pulling excuses out of their arse for hamilton was a bit much. I mean 9 podiums out of 9 races is a pretty fking good effort, they don't need to sugar coat anything for us. he just had an off day. big deal, he still took 3rd which is better than 17 out of the 20 drivers...

kimi pounded them though. better strategy, faster on track too. :P

shame webbers car broke again. I should have known. I was cheering that he had a good start and nailed trulli, but with that piece of good work done I should have guessed a retirement was inevitable.

by all accounts the bmw is not terrible, but I'd love to see what kubica could be doing in say the mclaren. perhaps it would be kubica up in the top 3 of the championship. he has done well to come back from that massive accident in canada.

why the hell did they start both macs on hard tyres? That was a BIG mistake. If they hadve started Hamilton and Alonso on the softer option, which was obviously the tyre to be on ( witness the pace of both ferraris ) then it wouldve been a completely different story.

Ron dennis even admitted as much in the post breifing.

people shouldnt be hacking away at Hamilton. the guy is doing an otherworldly job. Who gives a stuff if ITV bang on about him. I love the way he drives- hes mega aggressive, smooth, mechanically sympathetic ( lets see how the ferrari lasts with brutal Raikonnen behind the wheel ) and has a tactical nous that belies his 9 GP's...

think about that..

He's killing Heidfeld... What a form reversal

dont over exaggerate. hes not bloody well "killing" Heidfeld. Nick was only 3 seconds behind at the flag and still came in 6th..id hardly call that killing.

compared to what Heidfeld was doing to Kubica in the fist 5 or 6 races it is

I dont see your logic. They are very evenly matched in my eyes but i think Quick Nick is the better driver.

again, i would hardly go so far as to say they were killing each other as you put it.

Now if you were to compare trulli and schumacher then yes one is killing the other.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
