You're joking right? Or just trying to wind us up

No, I like Lewis as much as the next person, but it was only him that put himself out. He obviously knew how shot his tyres were and he overcooked it coming into the pits.

Go button what a day he is having. Where did it all go wrong for Lewis, why didnt they call him in earlier and did he not feel his tyre starting to fall apart? Should give some of the Shamilton army somthing to rant about I guess.

Alonso is bloody quick, catching Kimi. Hes left Massa, hes on the correct tyre atm.

Is he fueled to the end though?

It would appear he had a right rear puncture which would have been fairly loaded going round the corner into the pits. No grip really.

I see no evidence of a puncture, what makes you say that (apart from ITV's "OMG HAM DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES!!" commentators)

I think Kimi is just controlling the pace and the top 3 should have enough fuel for the end, although with massa its probably touch and go ;-)

Button in the pits from 4th

If they finish in the current positions

3 Kimi Raikkonen 100
4 Felipe Massa 86

He's only done 1 stop, dunno if he's fuelled to the end.

You didnt see the state of his right rear tyre with the inner-material no longer on the inside? Still no word as of yet so we shall see, still should be a fantastic GP in Brazil.

Super close. Ideally, Massa needs to get passed Alonso to help out Kimi, but Massa is very poor on the performance atm.

Potential 3 way battle still for the title going to Brazil - bloody hell, what a season

Your all wrong it has ever been a boring season, well I dont believe it but there will always be those who think it. Thank the lord for PIP tbh.

If he pulls it off, Vettel for driver of the day!
