I think the Ferraris will come back stronger in the race, they always do well in China. But we'll see, and if it rains then that could turn into a bit of a lottery.

What was Coulthard whinging about? I thought he was on a hot lap and had been overtaken by Heidfeld on an out lap, but it seems both were on an out lap. In which case it makes sense for Heidfeld in the faster car to go first.

Possible scenario tomorrow:

Kimi on the racing line gets the jump on Lewis then blocks while Filipo and Fred slip past

Massa, Alonso, Raikonnen, Hamilton the race order going in to lap 2 ...

If they finish in that order, Massa leads the championship

Maclaren hire Atherton to scatter a little dust?

As I said, someone who has been around as long as you have should know how it works on here and that spoilers often get posted if the race is at odd-o'clock GMT.
100% I always avoid this thread whenever I have to watch a race when it isn't live (i.e. I've video'd it or watching the re-run)

Just in case some people still have issues you can contact Sky Sports on this link
http://www.skysports.com/contactus/0,20299,,00.html

and the fomula 1 administration on this link
http://www.formula1.com/contacts.html

to complain to them when they announce the results causing you to get pee'd off because you were bloody stupid enough to look at somewhere the results were likely to be posted when you hadn't seen the race

Sarcasm not your strong point then?

If I've recorded anything sports related I avoid all people, never mind news outlets and random forums.

I was up for the quali live too, but didn't think about the forum at that time of the morning, strong black coffee was my first thought. See you all tomorrow morning then.?
