If it rained then most of the rubber that has been laid down has washed off, furthermore; if the water seeps into the bitumen then the oil underneath will wash out and come on to the track surface. The start could be a serious lottery, I want to see Hamilton win he deserves it after his bad luck.

It would be ironic if Webber's engine goes kablooey.

Im pretty sure he did just that in Singapore (ok outside not inside)...Webber was happy to risk contact and he was the one that scored the points.
I think it was the other way round in Singapore as Hamilton could not see what Webber was doing but Webber could see what Lewis was. This has been discussed to death - to no avail though.

He has everything to lose. There's no recovering at the end of the season.

Ok Monza was mostly his mistake rather than Massa's. So you're claiming Hamilton ran into Webber at Singapore ? That's laughable at best.

I'd like to see Hamilton deserve the win on merit rather than karma lol. The car not breaking in the final 3 races is what he deserves though.

for me lewis will always be the best driver in the field. He has the right amount aggression of speed, and i think webber has aggression but not speed, don;t forget that in australia Webber took out Hamilton... If not australia then certainly a race early in the season.

Not necessary. Have some respect for the drivers that were smart and talented enough to be doing something for a living we can only dream of.

After 2 weeks of words and promises Massa really delivers: he will play his role in the championship battle by controlling...Button! #-o

C'mon Felipe baby, go on Felipe, you can do it mate, yes, yes, just press the throttle a bit more, oh Felipe, just forget about it mate!

Looking at weather reports it seems to be raining now, and there's a better than even chance of rain hitting sometime during the race. Thinking way back to Australia and China, Button made a couple of excellent tire calls. If it's wet flag to flag, I'd say it's Vettel vs. Hamilton in a dead heat if they can keep from crashing, but if it's a race with changing conditions then this is Button's big chance to call an audible and score a win.

Hopefully the Rain will remove any advantage to being on the odd numbered side of the grid! [-o<

It looks like there will be changing conditions. Not so good as it will give more opportunities to profit from luck and race strategies.

One can disagree on that depending of the driver one supports. :wink:

Very true - btw it's interesting to note that the 2 team mates most closely matched all year have been Seb and Mark; Massa and Jenson have been for the most part outshone by Nando and Lewis by a fair margin imo.

Latest odds to win the race. The betting money sees Alonso as the better driver compared to Webber. Webber clearly sits in the best car but is slower than Vettel. IMO the betting money is not up to date on the weather forecast. In changeable weather conditions - as forecasted for tomorrow - Webber usually does really good. He has a knack with the weather and uses his vast experience to out fox the other guys. So the Webber supporters may see a nice return on a tenner.

That is just not true. It could easily be that they see Webber starting on the dirty side and Alonso on the clean side.

That is a question we may not easily resolve. But beside the weather there is also a big concern that tyres will throw up some need to think quick on your feet.
ITV report how tyres may play a big role tomorrow
