Looking forward to this, I have a feeling Hamilton will win, especially if it rains during the race.

If Jenson takes the title at this race, It will be interesting to see how he goes at Adu Dhabi without the title pressures.

Hopefully this race is an interesting one. Missed Japan as I was on holiday

 

[smr]

C'mon on Jenson!!!! Well looking forward to this one. I'm gonna wear my brawn cap, t shirt and jacket on race day and qualifying for good luck

 

[howler]

My bet is on Brawn winning thr constructors but for some reason I keep rooting for Jenson to take the championship

Given that RBR need a 1-2 in both remaining races with Brawn failing to score, I think that may be a pretty safe bet!

just watched the 2008 replay and it was still nail biting on them final laps

Granted but i thought it was safe at the halfway point then RBR started catching and Jenson lost his form

Would love to see how the ultra stiff modern cars would cope with somewhere like Jacarepaguá, it's like a dirt track compared to some of the Tilkedromes.

Everyone keeps saying this, but really? Did you honestly think Lewis wouldn't make it? This is Lewis Hamilton, Our Lord And Saviour The Messiah™, the man who equalled the great Fernando Alonso in his first season as a Formula 1 driver? Pffffft.

I didn't watch the race live (that season ground me down to the point of just not giving a ****, with the random stewards decisions and the stomach-churning Messiah™ Fan Club), but I did watch it as a tape-delay - and I never saw any reason to suspect he wouldn't come through and get the position required. Maybe it was different live, but I doubt it.

Of the races the BBC has posted this time around, '89 and '93 stand out for me. '89 because there really was a ruddy great dollop of suspense - would the Ferrari semi-auto 'box hold out and Mansell take the win? He didn't think it ever would, after all! And '93, with the change in the weather forcing a big mistake from Prost, Senna having to make a stop-go penalty and then get by Hill's vastly superior Williams..... magic drive from Senna, who never had a very good record on home tarmac.

well he passed glock(i think) on the last corner of the last lap, no one noticed glock stayed out on dry tyres so got up to 5th, with massas family celebrating and the five live people declaring massa champion i think everyone thought he had lost it.

plus the whole massiah thing is as boring as the Ferarri International Assistance now too.

I'm trying to come up with a witty rejoinder, but I'm drawing a blank. Can't win 'em all I guess.
