slightly concerned would be my assesment of ferrari. I think Kimi is in a position to pick up the win if Kovi has any problems, but I'd say, if he doesn't then this is his race. And quite deservedly so. Last week at the tests he looked like he was the fastest out there, all through practice he's looked quick and today again he's just blown everyone away. If Massa want's to keep his title lead in tact, he'll need to show he's really stepped up his game. Doesn't need to win, just needs a good showing, a 4th place is possible if he doesn't get held up.
Lewis cracked under the presure again.

The big question is, does Mark Webber have enough fuel to make it round for the parade lap? I hope i'm wrong tomorrow, but I think its a bit annoying that both Renault and now red bull seem to be going for these super low fuel qualy's just to out-do each other, because come race day, they do nothing but get in the way of the top two teams and inevitably hold one of them up for the majority of the first stint.

Do away with refueling all together. No reason why it can't be done. Been done in the past with these things.
That way we have our 1hr session on low fuel like the old days. The grid is assembled in the order it should be.
Then get rid of this two tyre rule. Let the teams choose their tyres. If some want to run the whole race on softs then why not. Others on hard tyres and so on. Lose the white stripe as well. Nobody cares quite honestly. The idea was fine but in practice it's become the same old story and the novelty has worn off.
And finally get rid of the stupid 19,000 rpm limit.
This alone is a huge reason there is no overtaking, adding a stupid power boost button wont make a differance if the car is hitting the limit like it does now. There is no need for it. And it would also add in the element of risk taking for teams. Do you run the risk of running at higher rev's for the race and quali at the expense of possible reliability problems.
This whole cost cutting thing is a bunch of rubbish. It's supposed to be the pinnacle of motorsport and Bernie/Max wont be happy untill its nothing more than another single make series with identicle cars that bore the crap out of everyone watching.

Not likely. They are just having a slow weekend.

They should run all the GPs on wet tracks....much more exciting

Massa obviously had something to celebrate judging by the number of doughnuts he did.

1min 8 seconds. Not a bad winning margin. Should've done better...
