Lewis 2nd on the grid after a low-fuelled (?) Massa. The thought is that Massa may want to deliver an advantage to Ferrari team mate Raikkonen who has a slim drivers' title opportunity.

Let's hope there are no Shuntmaker tactics from Massa.

hamilton wants to be carefull around him, hamilton wants the WDC wheras massa can go death or glory for the win. but as for malice, no way, massa's out racing for massa, he'll only yeild to kimi if kimi's WDC hopes are tangible. besides, if he "did the job" on lewis it'd probably mean is alonso wins the title, and massa and alonso don't get along...

I'd think that highly unlikely given that they are (reportedly) good mates and the rest of the hassle that the paddock has had with 'sporting behaviour' incidents this year.

Yeah. Sounds good to me. I see it that way too, more or less. I only mentioned it so I could write 'Shuntmaker'.

But I will be worried at the first corner.

Well, after all the rule book waving, hearings, claims, counter claims, spying rows, email rows, nationality rows, racism rows, petulance, blackmail and back stabbing...

Lets hope for a clean race and Lewis wins the title.

Agree. This kid is one gem. I want him to win. If we win the rugby as well .. I will indulge in my clarets Fortunately ,, have booked a day's leave in anticipation of such indulgence

Chance would be a fine thing, lewis has already caught it twice and the race hasn't started... mclaren fined for using two sets of wet tyres in practice and now ferrari are bitching about him "blocking" raikkonen in qualy...

I'm amazed if that's the case. I watched the quali and LH could not have got further away without going on the grass from KR. Sounds like Ferrari, sorry FIA, Sorry Ferrari International Assistance, are against Mclaren for some reason. (again)

Just caught the rerun of qualifying.

I think Hamilton has a better chance than we had with the Rugby.

I hope Massa is out to win and does not hang around just to hold Hamilton back to help Raikkonen out.

Bugger.

Football, rugby and now this.

Bugger, bugger, bugger

I wanted something to smile about going to work tomorrow

For those of you that think JFK was killed by Martians in league with Elvis, I really wonder about the mysterious 30 second loss of power.

So, the deal with McLaren is:

We let your drivers stay in the championship to boost the TV and sponsorship income. You make sure that they don't win the championship and we'll let you race in 2008."



They tried first by making a "mistake" with the qualifying tyres but that didn't work so they fixe3d the ECU.

And then there's the try that never was ...

I wondered why they left him driving on canvas last week?
then there was the ecu
and then this weeks fuel shortage? Why three stops???

Maybe they didnt want to win the drivers championship after being caught cheating??

It's one of two things.

A conspiracy,

or

Mclaren are a bunch of incompetent buffoons.

You judge.

And now Williams and BMW are under invetigation as their fuel was found to be to cold when tested after the race.

Did anyone catch Bernie Ecclestone's comments to Martin Brundle before the race start??

VERY fishy!!

Yes Ernest, I thought so too....

Wheels within wheels I suspect, but I don't know why....... no doubt THEY have a reason.


At first, I thought that Raikonen(?)....Had: "done the dirty" and braked on him to lose him revs..........allowing Alonso through. But on the replay you can see that he made the pass fairly and momentarily lost traction, going sideways causing him to hold Hamilton up. That's racing!......

The most curious things in F1 these days though is the ability of the pits to affect the cars performance and the "re-mapping" that goes on....

I'm curious about Lewis Hamiltons "fault" which took him backwards in the field but NEVER re-occurred....

The BBC reports that Maclaren are to appeal the decision not to punish Williams and BMW over fuel which was too cold.

If Williams and BMW were disqualified then Hamilton would become world champion.
