Would be good to see a 2 tier system.


I would have thought a two tier system would see more crashes similar to that of Webber and Kovalainen in Valencia? With the slower cars getting in the way of the faster ones

Sorry no i didn't mean it like that. What i should have said was "I'm not getting at you miniQ, i just can't understand why the FIA need to move the sidepods forward as they already work in a safe manner." Sorry for the wrong wording :).

-.- Hamilton should have rid the curb a bit more and massa moved over an inch more + hamilton should have turned in to the right 1 second later THEN he would'nt have damaged his car. no1's fault really it's what happens in racing :lol: Good race overall but a bit boring to be honest i expected some action! no safety car or even crashes. Good job jenson shame you could'nt get the win.
ANYWAY singapore will be a great race as always <3 night races

Yep, he should have been a little more patient for sure, I think he had the pace to take Massa at least, it could have tottally changed the way the races ended up if there was 2 Mclarens in the top 4.

Singapore will be amazing :lol:

Couldn't believe what happened to Lewis. Well peeved. A DNF for him was absolutely not needed. The incident couldn't be avoided really, he braked late trying to get ahead of Massa. I don't think he could of done anything to avoid it other than backing off. He'll never do that! LOL. Would of been good to see him at least finish though. Still... it adds to the excitement for the final races of the season.

I think it could have been avoided. He should have waited until the chicane, he could have put a move on the inside quite easily with the pace he had. Lets not forget he tried to put a move on one of the fastest cars of the weekend, who at the time, was in Jensons tow from that huge rear wing he was running. I think patience was the key there, but like you say, he would never have eased the manouver. Its what makes him what he is, and how he has done so well for himself, Hes an aggresive driver, and good on him for that, it just didn't work here.

Thunderstorm and rain exspected in singapore! omg imagine it....this could be one of the most imense,insane,crazyiest races in a long long time. EPIC this title battle is going to BE EPICCCCC. Cant wait... If all goes well (championship) and jenson,hamilton or webber or maybe even seb wins i cant wait to get to work on the season video/compilation...But if alonso wins the championshipp well... im sorry but... you know...
NOTE: I hope it isnt too bad either...rain + cloudy would be good since it would be too low visibility with heavy rain :0 and I DONT want it to get called off....As for rain well... I think hamilton and vettel are going to be doing some epic racing if it does rain... :D

If it rains the race will be stopped as visibilty under the lights is almost zero. I think the organiseres have timed the race to avoid the usual daily down pour that happens in the evening.
As for who will win I guess a return to form for the Red Bulls is expected, dependant on the floor mods of course.

PS Do you think Alonso will ask Massa to crash if he makes a mess of qualifying?

LoL...no he wont crash for him but talking back to monza...when vettel had his engine problem for 1-2 laps do you think it was all setup so webber could get pasted -.0? vettel still finished ahead of him though. And as for rain :|||| I think we might need to pray that it does during the race.. i hope the track is wet though.

2 hours till quali as much as i hate to admit it surely one redbull must be on poll i wreckon it will look something like this:

Vettel (1st)
Webber (2nd)
Hamilton or alonso (3rd)
(4th)??? Button not looking good in p3 but if all goes well maybe 4th or better for him
(5th)?

If anyone splits the redbulls job well done.

Ill be back after quali to comment on it :P i will either be : Angry,Sad,Annoyed,disappointed,Happy or ecstatic

Well honestly it turned out as expected if not better....the mclarens before Q3 were looking off the pace but hamilton to finish 3rd was as good as a hoped and only 1 tenth behind was great. If hamilton didnt hit the curb the way he did im sure he would have been on pole as well...the only sad news is alonso on pole -.- as for vettel let's just hope he gets a bad start and hamilton to pull past him and maybe jenson challenge him.
