So it has come to this, a season of hard work, disappointed hopes, disillusionment and unfulfilled expectations. While the fans of the front runners dominate all the other threads let the fans of real racing postulate on who will be doing most of the actual racing.

11 Piquet - again, once more on the cusp of the top 10. Is it another long fuel run for him tomorrow, another point or two?
12 Webber - another season of Webber's luck,outgunned by the junior team. Becoming a familiar face down this end, swopping places with the 2 Sebs from Torro Rosso. Promising start to the year, another year unfulfilled.
13 Kubica - someone else who is becoming a regular lately, but like China expect a point or two at the finish.
14 Coulthard - just never got it together this year. Hoping he can do something special. Starting with another full tank tomorrow methinks. Thanks DC
15 Barachellio - home ground. Is the Brawn factor helping or is it the "end of contract drives" which is putting him in front of Button. Still likely to be in the back half tomorrow.
16 Nakajima - ahh... Williams, so close, so far. What sort of racee tomorrow, for him its usually good one week, incident the next, he is due for something to happen. Possible DNF.
17 Button - perhaps a bit unlucky in qualifying with a car problem, but this year it hasn't really mattered. Will it be a close race with the Force India tomorrow ? probably not.
18 Rosberg - the man most likely to .... Another disappointing qualifying, another full tanker tomorrow.Up the front of the back at the end.
19 Fisichella - All the promise, all the work, all that money but Force India is still at the back. Hopefully a good race with Button and Nakajima.
20 Sutil - running hard to stay still. Like Fisi, looking foward to a close 4 car scrap for the last last spot of the year.

Most likely to start high and finish low - Seb Bourdais. It is almost a given that he will run out of road at some point and end up in the back half.

Where do you think the action in the back half will be ?

Yep, there's something almost Monty Python-like about Webber's misfortunes. He was on to a couple of podiums this year were it not for his trademark bad luck, either due to being punted off or having another engine/mechanical failure of some kind.

Mate, we're still rooting for you, keep trying

Yeah - like being nailed to the cross and singing 'always look on the bright side of life/death...' :\

Pap, sheer pap!

There are far too many clichés in this thread. They should be replaced with: "Our car is much better in race trim", "this circuit does not suit our car" and "our car should go well on this circuit".

Any more? lol

"i had traffic"

Yeah, it's always next race isn't it.....

"Testing has shown where our weak points are and we are achieving our targets race by race and look forward to being more competitive in 2 or 3 races time"

"We have new parts coming and now it's a case of doing what we can with what we have until those parts arrive"

"Our drivers and the team are on a learning curve and we expect to show full potential in the next coming races"

"We fully support our drivers" (Talking about has been number 2 drivers who couldn't cut it in their previous 3 teams as number 2 drivers )

I'm Oz but he's hard to support.

My friends and I bet on which lap he's going out, sad but true.
