Off to London for a day off football and beer. Hopefully I can get up for the race. Will have to set about 4 alarms. Can't see past a Vettel win.

Alonso could end up P4 or even P3 without Raikkonen crash.

raikkonen got out before jenson done the pb
**** luck if lewis slowed under yellows and JB just behind him got away with it
not sure what time lewis was going to get mind but there's a big gap behind JB, which would have put him third

Button isn't that far behind hamilton in the championship and i think they would have no problem shifting Button ahead come the end of the season......i just think more goes on behind the scenes that we will ever know about and its definatley possible for them to turn the wick down on Hamiltons car to make sure thsi will happen...i second behind Button?.....please.Well seeing as McLaren are probably the most professional team in motorsport, I highly doubt that they would 'sabotage' one of their driver's cars, regardless of where that driver is going next year.

He wouldn't have got third. I was watching live timing, his first sector on his final lap was 0.2s down on Alonso and 0.1s down on Raikkonen already. Maybe he would have moved up a few places but there was something fundamentally wrong with his setup throughout qualifying.

He was only a second behind because his one lap on fresh rubber got compromised, calm down. He has been slower than button regularly this weekend

And this is the same Hamilton who looked invincible in the last 3 races. It shows how fast your fortunes can change in Formula 1.Button ahead of Hamilton even with his penalty ...
Before Singapore GP, almost everyone was writing off Vettel for WDC. Whatever happens for the rest of the season, you will have the youngest 3 time WDCs.

So Kimi knows he doesnt have the pace to fight for the top so he deliberately spins and now everyone will catch the penalty because of ignoring the yellows. A genius

Yeah more like 4th/5th net 3rd/4th, just looking slow for some reason. Previous laps had a poor S1 as well.He wouldn't have got third. I was watching live timing, his first sector on his final lap was 0.2s down on Alonso and 0.1s down on Raikkonen already. Maybe he would have moved up a few places but there was something fundamentally wrong with his setup throughout qualifying.
Ah he's just saying he lost the setup, now has way too much understeer. A bit better for the race, hopefully.

On Sky, Hamilton admitted that the changes he made in the car made him slow. Asked if Raikkonen's yellow flag affected him, he said no, he said he was just slow.

Seems he went in the wrong direction with the setup again with Button making the right choiceOn Sky, Hamilton admitted that the changes he made in the car made him slow. Asked if Raikkonen's yellow flag affected him, he said no, he said he was just slow.

Kimi has never been such a huge talent. Grosjean looked ordinary against Alonso, just like Massa. Both Massa and Gro are faster than Kimi. Next year Gro will destroy Kimi.

Assuming the two lucky ones are Alonso and Hulkenberg? Might put a fiver on Hulkenberg to Ferrari.
