Let's just hope we see some racing


Plus, help me here, I've seen some press reports about Kimi & Alonso stating that they will help Massa win. So how will that work (& no, I don't need any comments going into the realms of silly tactics, I have to believe that these guys are professionals) unless Lewis gets himself positioned at 6th or below & they drive the widest F1 cars ever built at 4th & 5th?

I disagree. I think he's more professional than that.

I'm not bitter and twisted, but Hamilton is the last person I'd like to see F1 champion. I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Everything is premeditated by McLaren and it makes it impossible to belive anything he says.

In terms of his driving, he's too raw and still needs to temper his style to stop shredding tyres and making silly mistakes.

Come off it.

We cry out because our sports stars are too sterile and boring and then along comes a young chap who says the odd stupid thing, brags a bit and we all jump to knock him down for having views and a little too much attitude.

If he was a Scumacher like machine you'd slag him off and if he was James Hunt you'd slag him off. You just don't like him is what, nothing wrong with that mind.

Starting to get excited by this now - last race seven points in it, come on fella!

Has anyone considered the idea that Lewis takes Massa out?

One sure way to make sure that the Championship goes the right way.

The trouble is that if he does, he'll suffer the same fate as Schumacher when he attempted to do the same to Villenueve, namely removal of points.

No, he'll simply have to get to the finish. The best tactics are either stick on pole and drie away, or to get on the 2nd row behind the Ferraris and stay there.

You mean emulating his hero Senna?

As for helping Massa, would Alonso go as far as to give up the lead if it meant Massa winning the championship?

Still hanging in there for Lewis. yes he's made some daft mistakes this year, but he is still the most exciting racing driver out there.

I just hope the race is free from interference from the (bar)stewards!
