The toyota is quite similar to the Ferrari, for one simple reason. Massa and Truili are identical in their driving style. Need a good front end, both blindly fast in quali but weaker with race pace. Both Ferrari and Toyota have primarily been developed around Massa and Truili. That leaves both cars with a similar trait, they struggle more with getting heat into the tyres. This was pretty clear last year with both cars. Thus it meant during wet races, getting heat into the wet tyres was a downright pain.


At least thats my view. Which isn't always right.
But if the Toyota is much like last years, they'll struggle in the wet. Button will then dominant more than likely. Webber would be one to watch certainly if it rained.


Lewis would be one to watch if it rained.

Webber spun in silverstone in the wet.


That's hardly an indication of how good or bad someone is. One mistake is not exactly the best way to judge someone's ability in the wet weather. Webber was strong at the Nurburgring, getting a podium, and would've finished at least second at Fuji. I'd expect Lewis' chances to be slightly worse than Mark's purely because one of the major issues with the McLaren is aerodynamics and, as we all know, aero is crucial in the wet.

Exactly, I like to think that drivers do play a larger role in the wet weather. But just as some cars are good in the dry, some cars will adapt to the wet weather better.

But as its always said the wet weather is a lottery. If its rains in Sepang, it's gonna rain heavy, and I think we'll see cars just shooting off at random bringing out the red flag. These are also new less stable cars. Tomorrow I think a lot of the top 10 would rather see a dry race.

Indeed. Even Jenson, who probably has the best car for downforce, wants dry weather. In fact, I think only Vettel has said he wants it to rain.

Yeah, i'm starting to believe that he is a one hit wonder, the one hit being last year,
But Brawn-Mercedes are looking good for the constructors C'ship this year after a great start, and with Button pole it looks good.


I so don't believe that Lewis is a one hit wonder.............his talent is far too great. I just believe that McLaren may be be out of the running this year.......................next year however, who knows!!!!
