Don't you just love the Aussie vernacular.
I'll bet that will come back a mile two extra on the clock.

Assuming the car stays together, Seb's got to be the favourite for the win tomorrow. Wouldn't rule Webber out though.
Anything, anybody other that Alonso.

Yep, but not posting on an internet forum LOL!
Interesting story unfolding about the ride heights
Taken from http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/
Quote:
Ferrariās system is manual and very obvious. There have been suggestions that Red Bull has a more sophisticated system, which allows the car to run low in qualifying trim but then raises itself up when the 160 kilos of fuel are loaded in and lowers itself again as the fuel burns off. The key to that is making it legal.
Other teams are scratching their heads about how Red Bull might have achieved that, but one suggestion is that they may be exploiting the regulation that allows teams to re-gas pressurize the dampers between qualifying and the race. If this is the case then they would get the benefit of running the car low in qualifying and then raise it up when the fuel is added. Hence their stunning qualifying form.

Hope your all sitting comfortably, build-up starts in around 15 mins (my body clock woke me up an hour before it needed too)

Looks like possible rain in 15 minutes  good as a wet race is normally an exciting race

Forget all the tinkering with the cars and pit stops, just arrange for rain to fall at random times at every race.

Well done to Button, Kubica and Massa, as to to rest of what I want to say........well that would be my comments surrounding Alonso, and forum rules/decency prevent me from posting them.

Re: Formula 1 2010 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
What a difference some rain makes!
Much better race, congratulations to Jenson Button, Robert Kubica and Fellipe Massa for there podiums. Brilliant call by Button to come in early for the tyre change, unlucky for Vettel, reliability is seriously hampering Red-Bulls ambitions.
Is it just me or is Lewis Hamilton coming across as petulant, arrogant and immature lately. He seems to wan`t to blame this and that all the time rather than just knuckling down and doing the job.
Like when he caught the Massa, Rosberg and Alonso train (admittedly after a pit-stop which he didn`t need to make), because he couldn`t just waltz past he was on the radio complaining about his tyres, the same tyres that were a second or two quicker just a lap prior 
Surely he should have figured it was the turbulent air causing his care to be unstable and then just waited to pick his moment.
I`m not saying he had a bad race, some of the passing was phenomenal, maybe it`s the fact he now has a team mate who is up there with him like when Alonso was at Mclaren and he doesn`t like it!
Come on Bernie, fit sprinkler systems at all the Grand Prix tracks, it`s what the spectators wan`t
