Hammy and Kimmi....

It rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

I believe that Alonso will leave Ferrari as quickly as he came in. Massa is a good driver, and will challenge Alonso. And Alonso will chuck another tantrum, which will give Vettel the World Championship next year.

Webber extends Red Bull stay until 2010
http://www.manipef1.com/news/articles/9706/

Red Bull will continue with an unchanged driver line-up in 2010, after confirming Australia's Mark Webber will stay with the team for a fourth season. The news comes less than a fortnight after 32-year-old secured his first F1 victory in Germany, elevating him to third in the drivers' championship. The one-year contract extension means he will be driving alongside German Sebastian Vettel for a second successive season, but leaves his long-term future in the balance.

Christian Horner, Red Bull-Renault (Team Principal:
“I'm delighted that we have re-signed Mark for 2010. He has continued to show huge commitment and determination this season, especially following his bike accident at the end of last year. His recent results show he is on the form of his life – most notably with his recent win at the German GP – and he has the motivation to deliver at the highest level. It was therefore a straightforward decision to extend the relationship. We believe that the driver line-up of Mark and Sebastian is one of the strongest in the sport.”

Mark Webber:
“I'm extremely happy that Red Bull and I have been able to agree to race together again next year. Even in the leaner and tougher years at the start of my relationship with the team, I've always enjoyed working with them, so now to go through this purple patch, which we hope will continue for a good while to come, makes the work even more enjoyable. We've got a very exciting finish to this year's Championship, but I'm also looking forward to helping to develop and race the RB6 in the 2010 World Championship.”

Good news. It was a no brainer really.

I have strong feelings that Mark will beat the Brawn's this week, but much much closer than before...
Seb seems to be struggling, sadly, very sadly.

YEY! And he was last race too. And lewis is doing good! And even better... a family appointment that clashed with the GP is cancelled

Mark appears quicker than Vettel this weekend. Maybe as much as two tenths... that is what some paddock rumours are saying...

I think that winning his first race, at Vettel's home grand prix, in such a dominant style will have given Mark a tremendous boost. Now he knows that he is perfectly capable of winning races and his self-belief will increase. I would not be surprised to see him fighting for the win this weekend.

He hasnt actually been far behind all along. In fact often quicker, he's just had probs in quali which isnt like him cos thats been his speciality. I think it was the leg and now its getting better!!!

"Webber has always beaten his team mate."

Could the streak continue this season?

If his luck holds out.

Of course, of course. But I think the way in which he dominated that race and made Vettel look regular would have made him believe it even more. I mean, without the drive through penalty, he could have finished the race some forty seconds ahead of Vettel, a feat which Vettel has never managed.

I think it could do. And I think his luck will hold out - Newey has built a pretty solid car. I think, reliability-wise, it's been equal to the Brawn. They just need to sort out that electrical problem that occurs when the car hits a bump too hard >.<
