The stewards are pretty strict on blocking / impeding so if there was an issue then JB would have been penalised. If neither the stewards nor Webber saw a problem with the situation then it's likely just a bit of fan-bias on your part. Which is fine - we all do it from time to time :oops: :D

We could see some vintage Webber-attck if he loses places at the start and has to fight back from 10th or so. Could be quite fun...
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

1. Hamilton
2. Vettel
3. Alonso
4. Button
5. Massa
6. Webber
7. Rosberg
8. Sutil
9. Perez (wishful thinking)
10. Kobayashi (wishful thinking)

It is really unfortunate to see Webber fall so far from last year, but with his track record, he's not looking at any good times this Sunday
:? :lol:
Last year Webber finished 3rd, he is currently 2nd. :o
I see it more like this. First of all Alonso will probably finnish ahead of Massa as I think McLaren and Ferrari will blatantly use team orders if they have to, I don't see Vettel finishing between Hamilton and Alonso. Either ahead of both or behind both. I also see Massa attacking not defending. I think you are way undervaluing Webber, and I wouldn't believe one word of his sob story he will be reasonably fast in race trim. I expect a DNF from 2 of the front runners and I don't see it being Button this time. My prediction without the DNF's that I do think will happen is.
1,2)Hamilton or Alonso
3,4)Massa or Button
5,6 )Webber or Vettel
Sutil
Mike
Nico
Petrov
JMHO bro :wink:

The Racing looks tight in these conditions, would love to see this later today.

I think it's gonna be a great race. I expect Vet to get away in 1st with a swooping chop on either Ham or But. He'll do the usual blasting couple of laps. Then Ham to catch, hound Vet and pass him. But will do same provided Fred hasn't done him. Prediction:

Dry race:
Ham
Fred
But
Vet
Web
Mas

Wet/damp race:
But
Ham
Fred
Vet
Mas
Web

Checked the GP2 race and Eriksson started 3rd but was 1st into T1.
Pretty much all of the left side of the field jumped the right side.

Add the extra horsepower of an F1 car and it could possibly be even more extreme.
If Vettel gets a good start Hamilton is toast and has to start looking behind himself.
I think Vettel really has to F up the start big time to lose the lead into T1.
The truth will come out...

I just saw that MSC used the super-softs on his installation lap. Any idea why he would burn a lap on those precious super-softs? Seems like a waste to me and everybody else I saw used the hards.

Seems like I am watching a different race. For me everybody was driving on inters.
