Massa
Raikonnen
Kubica

This track is very simmilar to Bahrain where BMW were strong so I'm thinking its either Kubica or Heidfeld to get the 3rd spot. If thats the case I think we can kiss the constructors title race bye bye 5 races in. And Lewis is going to have a heck of a job winning the drivers title.
If the Mclarens cant pick up a 1-2 in the next few races it'll be interesting to see how quickly they change full focus to next years car since its a huge change and will require a lot of time and focus.

Looking at the times from FP1, it would appear that this year thanks to the date change and cooler weather, the cars will be faster round the track than last year. Guess TC being banned slowed them down alright Roll Eyes

Seems its helping the macs, but im not sure they can sustain it a for a full race stint, made qualifying interesting however, Hamiltons lap on the hards was quite somthing!

Looking forward to a interesting race... Cheesy

I think as far as ferrari are concerned it worked out nicely considering how poor Kimi's qualy lap was. They have Massa out front where he does his best work and you have Kimi not far back and in a car thats the fastest off the line against Hamilton who's been poor with his starts lately and that leaves Kovi who if he doesn't pass at the start, should be fairly easy pickings throughout the pitstops as Kimi likes to do. I'm not going to get the 123 this time round though. I'd say if the race goes by the script Cspyro should be on for the 30 points though.

Im sure at the end of qualifying yesterday before they cut back to Mark 'We haf to wait an see steve, Lewis will haf to wait and see if he has a car what he can win with what he has' Blunders and Steve, they showed a shot of a renault (im presuming alonso) holding up a ferrari - im presuming it was kimi - though ive heard nothing since. I havent ventured over to autosport yet to look but was this the reason for kimis not so good lap?

It was Massa and Alonso. Massa was on his warm up lap and doing as fast as he could to make sure he was past Alonso before his flying lap. Kimi's lap was just a mess from what I read, we only saw the last few corners, and even those were not even close, he completely missed the apex's of the final few corners.

Good race, impressed Lewis got the 3 stopper to work. Not sure where Kimi was today just didn't look like he was interested when he should have been pushing. Roll Eyes

Great result for Felipe that brings him right back into the title race.

Yes, a good race and well done on the hat trick for Massa. Interesting that McLaren went on a three stopper, but it did pay. Loved Trulli's remark, after his accident. Barreling into the first corner at the back.........Not my fault, they all closed the door on me Grin

Just like to point out and congratulate CD on his first 123 aswell.
Takes us a full season and a qtr then we get two races in a row where we have a full 30 pointer.

Well done mate Cheesy
