I would say Kimis season is toast. He isnt qualifying well, and Massa is on a roll, definitely the form driver of the last few races. Kimi seems a little lost. IEven if Kimi comes good he will only hurt Massa as i dont think Lewis will stumble as badly as he did last year

ah, forget kimi, I've lost confidence in him. He can only drive if his car is set up to his absolute spec and most of the time, it is never set up properly. Massa can drive just as well under most condition, making him a lot more flexible than kimi and better driver in my book. Like I've always said, GO MASSA!!!!!

I think the split in their resources between developing this year's car and next year's car is finally starting to show. 2 blowup's in 2 races, someone is definitel not getting something done.

lets just hope there is no wet races between now and the end of the season, that could be Massas only downfall.

he was a bit dizzy last wet race. Doesnt seem to fase Kimi or Lewis.

Its funny how Kimi for whatever reason has lost a bit of pace relative to Massa and everybody seems to be thinking its because Kimi is off at the strippers. Not because Massa is finally starting to see the rewards of all his focus and hard work?!?!!

What continues to amaze me is how after so many races Heikki hasnt been near Lewis.

...and final tidbit. Is it a coincidence that since all the teams have gone crazy engine covers, RBR has lost some of its pace relative to Toyota, Renault and Williams?

yep, I agree. sadly it looks like kimi won't be getting another WDC title this year.

it looks like it will be between massa and shamilton.

RBR seem to be nowhere. for once they had a reasonable strategy but no pace to go with it.

and what was up with ferrari's pit work? absolute rubbish. although to be fair it does seem that one cock up was kimi's fault for anticipating the green light.

anyway I will be happy enough to see massa take the WDC. anyone but hamilton please... :/

My sentiments exactly.

I'd certainly prefer it to be Kimi, because Kimi is my boy, but I'll take Massa in a Ferrari. I'd even take the pole or Heikki if it meant Louise walked away with no more than his handbag :bunny:

What a dissapointing race: Here I was wishing all kinds of evil upon Phillipas engine for the last 18 laps; on the off chance that his engine could have also lunched itself spectacularly in a mushroom-cloud of burning oil like Kimberlys did. But no. Was 1 busted valve-stem or ring-land too much to ask for? really?? *sigh*

5G under brakes...according to James Allen, that pushes you back into the seat...

That guy is fast assuming Murray Walkers mantle for 'did-he-really-just-say-something-that-thick?' style comments

Maybe, but i think RBR hasnt progressed as strongly as the other teams. They seem to be strong at the begining of the season, where other teams might be struggling a little but dont make any further progress. Teams like Toyota with a massive budget are always going to come on strong. It is a shame when your a Webber supporter to see him struggling.

Ren'os down on pace this weekend. Even Alonso upset with cars pace through practice and qualifying.

      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

      Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
