Louise is looking pretty strong with the same sort of fuel load as Vettel, who on that long run has to be odds on to be leading at the end of the first lap. Lets hope for a wet race to mix it up and give Webz a chance from the back. Hopefully he is nice and agressive and doesnt shy away from the recent penalties he has been copping

I am looking forward to testing my theory next year... if Kimi ends up back at McLaren i suspect it will prove my 2007 theory that Lewis had a bigger problem with Alonso as a team mate compared to Alonso caring about Lewis being competitive.

The past two years with Hakki, i mean Heiki as a team mate has meant the only pressure he has had to concern himself with was red cars, not the guy in the other team bay.

I think Fisi jmping into the Ferrari shows that the car is crap and the results Kimi has been able to get from that car is mega impressive...and i have never heard him blame the POS car. Just gets on with business :P

And I'm looking forward to confirming my theories that-

a) Lewis has no problem being motivated by some inter-team competetiveness, rather than just against other cars (not like that big skirt Alonso that had a cry the moment the rookie was shown to be faster than him).

and

b) Now that 'McLoser' has pretty much perfected their KERS system after a costly (both money and points wise) development period, and now has arguably the best system on the grid- and will do next year (25kg total system weight and falling), that we can now expect to see the non-KERS teams bitching and moaning about it being an 'unfair advantage' when both McLaren drivers are on the podium at next years races.

*crystal-ball off*

A shame McLaren won't be using KERS next year. (If i understand the stance of FOTA correctly).

KERS is the answer to the problem with overtaking in F1 as it allows a mistake by a driver to be pounced on by a following car (assuming they haven't used all the stored energy). It is unfortunate it has been implemented in a half-baked way. It seems unfair that larger framed drivers are at a significant disadvantage to the point where it is unusable in its current stage of development.

2012 should be enough time to implement it in all cars but I think they were talking 2013.

1000!

Only took me 5 years

The top 6 are on similar levels of fuel at the moment, I think vettel should be right for this one, also don't forget button and Rubens got a 5 spot grid penalty so did Alonso and someone else

Provisional grid & pre-race weights - updated

Below is Sunday morning's provisional grid for the Japanese Grand Prix with each car's weight. Note - Brawn GP’s Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, Force India’s Adrian Sutil, Renault’s Fernando Alonso were all handed five-place grid penalties for failing to slow adequately under yellow flags. Toro Rosso’s Sebastien Buemi received an identical penalty for impeding other cars and causing a potential hazard to other drivers.

Force India's Vitantonio Liuzzi and McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen both have five-place penalties for gearbox changes. Red Bull’s Mark Webber will start from the pit lane after swapping to new chassis and hence have no fuel restrictions. Toyota's Timo Glock will not start following his heavy crash in qualifying.

The various penalties were applied in the order in which the corresponding offences were committed.

1. Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull, 658.5kg

2. Jarno Trulli, Toyota, 655.5

3. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, 656

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
