Pulling for the Mclarean boys this race. A high speed track with good passing zones, and a chance of wet conditions seems ideal for Lewis. Lets just hope they are not hurt more by the ban on the OTBD then Redbull.
Also hoping Kobayashi can get a podium! I think I read the Sauber's have not been using the off throttle blown diffusers, so they may have just caught up the the field.

It is Horner Vs Whitmarsh on the eve of the British Grand Prix. FIA appears to have quite the dilemma to resolve.
Whitmarsh was unhappy that a technical directive issued by the FIA on Friday morning left the way open for the Renault-powered teams - which include Red Bull Racing – to use 50 per cent of throttle blowing while the drivers were braking.
Horner responded that the decision, given to Renault on reliability grounds and relating to exhaust valves, was only fair because the Mercedes-Benz outfits were allowed to use engine over-run under braking to help with crank case pressure.
The situation rumbled on over Friday evening and FIA race director Charlie Whiting met with engine representatives for a lengthy meeting to discuss their concerns and try to find a solution that was fair for everybody – and prevent a situation where other engine makers try and find grounds to justify a similar 50 per cent limit.
AUTOSPORT understands that Whiting will decide overnight if further action needs to be taken, and the teams will be informed before the start of final free practice about the FIA's view on the matter.
