Is it just me, but on the first lap, first corner I think? didn't Alonso cut the corner, gained two or three places and not give them back? Shocked

It's been brought up several places, sadly I failed to tape this one so cant check. You can bet that if this were the case both Williams and Mclaren would have lodged an appeal by now though.

Of course, nothing will be done about this. He doesnt drive a silver car. Grin

Although if he did it beggars belief that nothing should happen going by the hoo haa over spa, but for the championship, The result couldnt really have been better for Mclaren. Any one other than the ferraris can win, as long as Hamilton gets a top three.

Am i right in thinking Hamilton can now finish second to Massa in all three remaining races and still win the championship? I expect Hamilton to win at least one of the remaining three anyway.

Indeed he can.. Ferrari now need Kimi to do his best rear gunner action and keep himself between Lewis and Felipe.

A supporting role from a current World Champ! Quality.

you are correct. 7 point lead 6 avaliable in 1-2's

I look at it this way, barring a downpour Brazil should be a ferrari 1-2, that would mean a 3rd place for Lewis gives him a 3 point cushion to cover in China and Japan. If it were to finish on a tie for points, right now Massa has 5 victories to Lewis' 4. that means should Massa take the win in Brazil Lewis would have to win China and Fuji to tie victory numbers, and I believe he'd win the title based on 2nd places. (take into account thats going on the fact that results go the way of a tie obviously. say a dnf for Lewis.

For me the only concern is Fuji, in the dry they were as quick as the mclarens last year, but it's likely to be rain. China, Ferrari are always quick round. And Brazil seems to be Massa's track.

I've seen friendlier first posts.. Grin

I take it you know Craig then?

To answer your question, he's as slim and toned as an Olympic athlete, having met up with him earlier in the year I can vouch for this
