If you're interested in seeing what the tracks look like I've updated my Google Earth links and flyovers. Unfortunately it's still not perfect, although Fuji is now high res thanks to the April update but the imagery for Valencia is a fair age so the purpose built bridge isn't visible. To play the flyovers select the flyover folder and press the play button at the bottom of the Places pane.

Another early breakfast. Can LH keep his head this time? Will the FIA give everyone a 25 second penalty for just turning up?

See, it's all just a bit of fun rivalry :)
 
Im still in two minds as to whether I'm watching this, especially after more evidence of the FIA (Ferrari International Aid) at work last week!
F1 is getting ridiculous and it needs to be fixed asap!
 
I hope Kubica gets 1st or 2nd at both China and Brazil, with Massa and Hamilton clashing so much that they finish outside the points each time. That would be the ultimate end to the season for me.

That Alonso picture is awesome by the way! :D
 
Yup, and they will be in here debating the issues again after the race!

At least its interesting and close! Better than one person/team running off with it and winning by race 12!
 
*puts on deliverance music*

Well, this is it then last chance saloon. Brazil is a Massa win so this needs to be good.

Will he crack? Can he handle it? The pressure cooker is at its peak and time to stand up and be counted is now. Put up or shut up.

Now, that WOULD be funny :cool:
 
May the best man win, same goes for Brazil. At this stage, I'm sick of the controversy each race, I just want a good clean fight whoever wins.
