Lol at Ted Kravitz's interview:
'So Kimis car is rubbish, yes?'
'So you've only got one car tomorrow, yes?'
'Why was Kimis car so rubbish?'

Basically asking the same question about 6 times

I think I'm going for a McLaren one-two tomorrow, just a gut feeling.

Massa seemed to have a bee in his bonnet in the press conference

i think hamilton will win it but i think kimi will do a good drive and finish 2nd, it would be good if trulli can keep with the pace and maybe a top 3 finish.

either way it looks like it will be an interesting start with the grid like it is.

i missed the qualifing. did raikonen looked heavy or he just messed up something ?

Heavyish but he should be quick enough to have been 3rd. The car was all over place, hes just not got it set up right.

I'd say Hamilton, Massa 18 laps. Raikkonen, Kova 22 laps. Alonso, Trulli 5 laps

It's McLaren-Mercedes home grand prix... </conspiracy>

knip · 19 Jul 2008 at 20:54

Does anyone know of an FM radio station I can get tomorrows race on, because I am working and wont be able to get near a tv, but I have my radio on my phone?
Just a long shot!

Heikki fined for refuel in Q2. Why would they fine Heikki and not the team? Seems a tad strange?

The FIA really want to hit McLaren, everytime they mess up LOL. I'm impressed that the FIA even picked up on this.

Zogger · 19 Jul 2008 at 20:57

Sutil to win I reckon

I woke up yesterday and i just couldn't get his name out of my head. I didn't even realise it was a grand prix week this week. Gotta happen. home race as well

I dont see this happening. Either Hamilton will screw up (in the pits or near Alonso) OR Hamilton will finish in front, in which case I dont see Heikki coming in ahead of both Ferraris - Heikki just doesnt have the speed/ability to achieve that feat.

He has every right to. He is top of the standings and commentators are implying he's crap. Its obviously got to him.

I think Massa has dealt with it pretty well.

Dont forget, he completely messed up the first few races only to come back in style at Bahrain and Turkey.

He maybe small that little Brazillian, but hes got heart and drive.

The kid I look after goes sailing at a lake on a Sunday afternoon, and tomorrow ive got to take him. Worst comes to worst I can sit in the car, I just kind of need to be near by in case theres a problem with him, theres no wifi there, nor will my laptop battery last that long, am peed off to say the least.

Will have to log on here on my phone and you lot can keep me sane!

You can get portable radios with MW fairly cheaply, maybe you could find somewhere that is selling those nearby.

Rosberg committed to Williams - http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/69300

Personally I don't see Williams going anywhere but down the coming seasons... if I was Rosberg, I'd be banging on the top 3 manufacturers door.

Ah cool is that Shearwater or something?

I've had to record it and watch it later a few times in the past, which is ok as long as you drive back without the radio on and watch it right away

How can the fuelling equipment not have been FIA approved? Surely they wouldn't use anything like that?
I really don't understand why it's Kovaleinen's fault also, surely (even in the land of FIA's **** penalties) this is one of the weirder ones?
