F1 GP Japan: Your predictions

[Mushroom_Farmer]

And so the silliness begins anew.

Hamilton
Massa
Kimi

Play it safe i think - i thought of popping Alonso in there

Bugger

Hamilton messed up, and Massa should of capitilised on that, but messed up himself. Oh dear

Not much else to say really, but Hamilton got of lucky today, he could have been 2 or 3 points behind, let alone 6 in front still

[todayshorse]

........and now Bourdais gets a 25 second penalty, Massa promoted to 7th.

I guess you cant even be on the track now when theres a Ferrari within 1000 yards without getting some sort of penalty. Massa WDC then i guess at this rate!

What a joke!

Lewis cracks under presure again, so much for being better prepaired.

Only just seen the Bourdais penalty. Load of bollocks. It was a racing incident, It doesn't matter what cars involved the stewards are showing racing and a bit of banging wheels isn't allowed.

What annoyed me was that cock Allen again, oh if ferrari dont get massa a point he cant win with 1-2 finishes, when he could have. 8 points up for grabs that way, 7 behind.  That idiot was on prime form today, guess because of the poor showing from his lover boy.

Lewis was his own worst enemy today, A bad start then a banzai move into the first corner that wouldn't have looked out of place on the last corner of the last lap...with the championship at stake.

He should have just sat behind and waited for a clearer overtaking opportunity. Alonso deserved the win, getting back to his old self..

This is whats scary as far as the final few races are concerned. Yes Singapore was lucky for him, and todays race, he was helped by Lewis taking, Kimi Massa and Heikki for a day trip to the runoff of turn one, but thats racing, and looking at his lap times he was always up there with the Ferrari's and Mclarens for lap times, and more important he was consistant. 4 to 5 laps several times with times all the same is what won the race. If he decides to throw another quali short fill to get up front he'll cause headaches for the championship. Maybe not so much in China, but certainly Brazil.
I've said it to people at work, the title will almost certainly be decided next week.
Then again I think the titles already been decided in many peoples minds.

Throwing a spanner in the works though. Kubica is not to be counted out. Another race like todays and he goes into Brazil with a big chance. And the way Ferrari and Mclaren seem to be fighting to be the team who throws it away first, BMW could be the big benefactor.

Well that was eventful (Just watched it).

Lewis and Massa both deserved their penalties in my opinion, but Bourdais?!? What a load of sh*t that is. He had the racing line, it was in no way his fault as far as I could see. I thought racing was supposed to be exciting, but the Stewards are just taking away everything that was once exciting with stupid and inappropriate penalties.

[Craig.]

lmao, watching the replay. James Allen.
" the differance was the pit stop, and ferrari using the lollipop a system they are unfamilliar with after years of using the light system"

Love it. Apparently 1 and three qtrs of a season is years, and the lollipop was responsible for the fuel hose taking a couple of extra tenths to release. I will be so glad when he's gone.
It's been a sweet relief not having to deal with Ryder this weekend.

Lewis threw it away - again

All the fun of the fair again ........don't ya just love the stewards  ::)

[TSC.]

LOL, Bourdais penalised for having the audacity to not only be in the way of the red car, but to then go on & finish ahead of it!!

Unbelievable.

Shame on you Bourdais. You know the rules when the coloured boy is ahead on points!!

TSC.

[Craig.]

I'd say both drivers are doing are doing a good job of trying to hand the title to each other.

[MWISimmer]

Wouldn't it be ironic, after all the Massa/Hamilton stuff, if Kubica won the title.?  ;D

[Craig.]

see my post up a bit

And you know what, I wouldn't be too upset if he did. There would be absolutly no way anyone can claim the FIA helped him. He's been the most consistant driver this year, and He's kept his mouth shut unlike most the other guys.

[The Ruptured Duck]

Im very close to not giving a flying f*** about f1.  It's about as rigged as an election in....
