Lewis?

Well he is a future champion.. 

Agree on the qualy thing as well.

Massa
Hamilton
Alonso

...here we are, plenty of time now

law of averages says you have to come good at some point mic.

Hopefully Alonso will do his job properly this time and take out both Ferraris at the first corner....

1) Hamilton (I'll say this til he wins...)
2) Webber
3) Bob the builder (or Nick Heidfeld)

Alonso gave him that pole.
His sector times were that much faster that his final corner mistake wouldn't have made much of a differance. Lifting off the gas and turning the car towards the other side of the track before the line is what gave Lewis the pole.
But hey not a bad thing. Now he needs to be certain of getting into turn one 1'st to avoid the likely pile up.

Lewis' pole lap was a cracker. In the last chicane he was faster than anyone I've seen through there in recent times 
Roll on tomorrow. 

I'm not saying he turned round slammed the brakes on and did a handstand over the line, just watch the way he takes the final straight though, he made a simmilar mistake in free practise and even put the car sideways out of the final corner which only lost him .2 of a second. He was up on Hamiltons time through sectors 1 and 2 by over .350 of a second and I really cant see why pushing to the end even with the mistake wouldn't have got him pole. Maybe he thought "well i've made the mistake i'm not close enough so i'll back off to save the car" bare in mind the split times he was getting on his dashboard would have been for the previous fastest lap and would have been irrelevent since Lewis then went faster. I am guessing he was told while going up the backstraight lewis went faster so again his thoughts could have been his sector times wouldn't have been good enough to beat them with the mistake.
as for excitment, yes theres been some great races this year, I think the title race would be differant if schumi was around, but him not has at least kept it close amoungst the 3 perhaps 4 drivers instead of the usual 2 horse race. In the end though aside from the first lap gains by hamilton, its still pretty much the same usual procession that F1 is. Your not going to see any driver on the grid today having a brazil like race, they are all stuck in cars becoming even tougher to pass as developments go on. The only driver on the grid who could do it is Alonso, but unless you get those exceptional circumstances like brazil, its never going to happen, the mclaren is just too fast to end up in the mid or back of the field.

Judging by the start, that is one very ruffled world champion...

That was an almighty crash by Kubica! Looks like he clipped the stationary car on the trackside...hope he's OK!

Certainly, we haven't seen a crash like that for a long time - his injuries (or lack of them) just come to show how well designed the cars are.

Fantastic drive by Hamilton, despite the four or so crashes and a very difficult track he showed that he has definitely got what it takes.

Who knows - he could be the next Schumi!

Wooooo...I finally got a prediction spot on!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to Lewis....glad to hear Kubices injuries are not serious...didnt actually see the crash but it sounded nasty at around 180Mph!

.mic

what a race.
well done to Lewis, I think he's gone beyond everyones expectations again. And if he stays consistant then the world championship is his.
Kubica is a lucky lucky man, the way his head was banging around was scary.

Kubica's crash was SCARY  I honestly feared the worst; as mentioned it goes to show how safe an F1 car is.
Oh, and well done Lewis
