Yeah Massa was definitely doing well to bad for him those dodgy Italian electrics!

Typical now. Hungary 08, China 09, Singapore 08. He's due a result something shocking.

IMHO I think Hamilton is better on a changing track running Intermediates, than he is on a full wet track. He drives to aggressive for the full wet tires and I'm sure it has a lot to do with how stiff he likes the car's set up.
That being said I think he should have done better today, but I'm still happy with today's results, not just with Hamilton but the whole field except for Massa I do feel sorry for him. One thing that I saw as being interesting today was Button commenting on how the Braun GP's couldn't keep heat in their tires'. I think this explains why they do such a good job on the super softs in the dry, the set up of those cars is just not as hard on the tires as everyone else's car.

I think your right about his driving style I'm not convinced he got the optimal set-up of his car over the weekend it was pretty much a tricycle most of the time because the car was so stiff.

Very true, quite a bit like Ferrari last year. They could keep their tyres for ages, but they struggled getting heat into them and then struggled in the wet. McLaren on the other hand were the opposite, they could get heat into the tyres easily but they wore out faster. But it made them pretty handy in the wet. Very good point there.

I think being easy on your tires will play a bigger part in the Championship this year, since there's a bigger gap in the 2 compounds.

I liike both of them. If it were up to me I would replace both Of Ferrari's drivers now with Alonso and Vettel. But what is for sure I would never hire the likes of pathetic lucky drivers such as Lewis Hamilton.

What a bitter and twisted person. Ferarri, Ferrari Ferrari and everthing Italian eh. You've forgotten Italy's best achievement. The manufacture of the world's fastest battle tank........ 1 gear forward and 20 in reverse

I care and think of only in the interest of Ferrari. Ferrari should always have the best drivers. It is their right to do so as it is their divine right to win. If Vettel is the next Schumacher which he may well be, then he will become Ferrari intellectual property just like Schumacher. He will bring glory and success to the only one team that matters in F1 which is Ferrari. Alonso out of the current champions still has the experience and talent to do as Schumacher has in the past and also as he himself has done twice for Renault. Therefore in the interest of what matters most in F1 which is Ferrari making a mockery of all other rivals then Alonso is good enough. As for Kimi, he has done his deed but is well overdue. He should retire knowing he has done the greatest thing one can do in F1 which is be champion for Ferrari. As for Massa. He is the true champion of 2008 but as events unfolded some lucky fool stole his honour. Massa is good but not a Schumacher or ALonso or future Vettel level. Thus because Ferrari by right should have nothing but the best, Massa should move over for the superior talents and likes of Vettel and Alonso.

This is tongue-in-cheek, right? Or am I missing something? Divine right to win - seriously?
