can you get done for drink driving an F1 car? how would the FIA react?

You wouldn't be let near the car and it'd be bye bye to that super license!

Really? Is there a reg? What about other drugs?

I haven't bothered looking, there has to be. It's the same in all sports I follow. Even if it isn't in the rules (which it presumably has to be for motor racing) every team code of conduct would be broken, which could subject the driver to losing their contract. Drinks don't come cheap do they?

Not sure but i remember ant Davidson saying on Friday practice coverage that he was woken up at 6am by an FIA inspector demanding a urine sample..

A premonition of the "F1 Button accident" that will happen at turn 1?

Must be Nakajima or Grosjean's work...

I think Lewis will win hang on , hang on, here's the reasoning

He's on a roll.

The twisty second sector will play to the low-speed strength of the car.

Interlagos is at an altitude of 800 meters and at such an altitude the power of the engines will be a bit down. KERS however will be unaffected and therefore proportionately worth more. The first and third sectors are about straightline speed and will be good for using KERS.

There you go! Thanks Mr.Coulthard! (Most of that info was from his article in autosport).

David also reckons Red Bull will set the pace due to the singapore upgrades and Brawn won't be far behind. An intriguing race from the looks of all that!

If it rains, Vettel will lap the entire field. And I hope Nico gets that damn Visor of his sorted... has anybody found his helmet yet?

Nah, Lewis will be in there if it rains! he's the only one who's lapped the entire field in the rain!!!
Lost helmet. Pah!! That was a dirty trick!

Anyone remember what Kobayashi's pace was like in practice at Suzuka?

Hadn't considered that about KERS.... good point!

Of course DC would back Red Bull although he's probably right, especially if it rains.

I have a feeling he would have been running light, just to please the Japanese fans, it certainly looked like Nakajima was as well.

If it rains Red Bull will have a strong advantage with there great Aero grip.

I didn't get this whole "find Nico's helmet" thing, was it some kind of promotion where you have one of those "Where's Wally" type scenarios? Maybe it's in that new "Where's Stig" book.

Lewis didn't lap the entire field, well he lapped most of it, but not Ruby and Quick Nick. Where was his "wet weather" skill in China though?
