Yeh, cars being close to each other, and each driver having a genuine chance – no racing in that!

Well looks like Vettel may well be going for WDC number 3...they seem to have got the car to his liking now.

My bet's on HAM this year, but I think any of he, VET and ALO has a reasonable chance.

How dare you refer him to "Ayrton" edit your post at once.

He is nothing like the great man. Ayrton was the man who represented the "people" of Brasil, his community and for the impoverished children of his beloved country and most importantly he was a small beacon of light that shined bright in such difficult times for Brasil.

If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Would have to agree. Their relative pace will ebb and flow, but all three have the talent and consistency to last it out this season. Just hope that McLaren and Ferrari can keep their drivers in it in terms of development pace. McLaren in particular don't appear to have the resources that they've had in previous years, but hopefully they've just been focussed on a big upgrade for Silverstone.

What an intelligent remark.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Vettel says they had to use two sets of soft tires in q2. I wonder Ferrari was overconfident or just too slow to understand the situation?

Vettel is just so amazingly quick...balls to the wall stuff to save tyres and have only one flying lap and then pull it off...brilliant...notice how focused he was before he went out?
Generally I don't care about what people say. I have to be clear with myself. When everything goes well, people celebrate you, when you make mistakes people criticize you.

This is racing at its best! 0.3 seconds covering top 13 in Q2. Thats not tire deg or dropping off the cliff its balls to the wall racing!
All the cars are so close that the slightest mistake and your out. And even better tomorrow the Lotuses are best on tire conservation but in P4 & 5.
Romain Grosjean eighth different winner tomorrow?
