Fixed. :)

1. Why is he called "The Boss"? Ain't no boss of mine.
2. There are several other drivers than Hamilton that deserve some thread time and may sring a surprise this weekend.

Just a couple thoughts befoer the Hamilton appreciation society takes over. :mrgreen:
He is not your Boss, but shumi was put on the Boss' roster in china. :mrgreen:


Yes other drivers can spring a surprise, but they will be given little attention because hamihaters have Hamilton booked for 3 penalties this weekend already. So we might not be able to squeeze in the other highlights.

I hope this race is smooth with consistent weather. A couple worn out tyres near the end would be good as well.
For Sure!!

this weekend there is something to look forward to... almost all teams will be coming with the upgrades for their car... so they will be faster than before (hopefully)....


BTW is hamilton and vettel getting a grid position penalty for the incident in china???? any news on that????

also... ferrari and mercedes will be testing their version of the F-Duct system.... i feel that the midfield battle will be even more interesting with force india williams and renault battling it out....

so my predictions are as follows....

1. Alonso
2. Schumacher ( :D )
3. Rosberg (wild guess)

there isn't any grid penalty. for that incident, FIA stewards drew the end line long ago; no investigations!

Quick! We need to find a possible link between him and Lewis Hamilton, for when he makes a decision that isn't against him!

A racing driver is just 1 of 3 stewards. We'll never know whose fault is the lack of obvious punishment for Hamilton (twice) and Vettel.

Surely that will be a double floor mistake?

On that subject how exactly does the double floor work...?
More could have been done.

The former racing driver is a 4th "steward". More of a consultant to the 3 stewards.
