Don't worry I'm sure we have plenty in stock considering the amount of development.

Well, when in doubt "you can do it when you B&Q it".

Or drop by the "Top Gear technology center" and ask Jeremy Clarkson if there's any spare green paint from when he re-painted his Alfa green in the cheap Alfa challenge.

Wouldn't a Kimi victory here be just so amazing? And then he could back-to-back it with Monza.

Fire him for Fernando after something like THAT Ferrari

This could be a very dangerous race for Brawn because if they're not on the pace, they could end up bogged down the order a fair bit.

Yeah, I don't expect much from the Brawns

That's funny, I remember him leading up until the last couple of laps...

I so want Rubens to win here and make it two successive wins. That would be really something for me. And then if he were to win Monza and Interlagos, too, even if he didn't take the title I'd be so happy. This win, with Button's continuous struggling, has restored some of my faith that Barrichello can fight for the title. I'm hoping that Monza, Singapore, Interlagos and Abu Dhabi can all be Brawn tracks.

I think Brawn and us, their fans, have to take a spoonful of sugar to make the medicine go down in Spa (We all know that even if we've improved the cold weather performance, it's high points on offer, not the win). But after that, the temperatures and some of the tracks look like being very much our style.

I still think Jenson will win Suzuka.

Mclaren seems to have found their touch, Kimi could be up there.

Heard something like Kimi is going to Finnish Rally thats why Alonso is going to Ferrari.

Yeah, as I recall it Kimi and Lewis spent the entire race fighting amongst themselves in a race of their own. There was nobody else racing on their level last year at Spa. Massa was handed the win, but he simply wasn't on par with Kimi or Lewis that day.
