SPEED TV actually did a % comparison this morning. Ferrari had more driver error's while McLaren had more team error's and the calculation's to the point's lost due to these error's where Mass 36 points lost and Hamilton 35 point's lost.

Anyway it has been a very intense season and I have enjoyed the racing but not the politics. Brazil is gonna be a whopper of a race and so intense I can hardly stand it!!

Wow. Over 70 points lost between them for various reasons. Would never have thought it was that high. I agree - I think Brasil is going to be nail-biting for about 24 hrs beforehand. I'm not quite so confident that it's all but wrapped up for LH. Maybe if his engine had blown in Fuji I'd be a little calmer.

The chances are the engine fault in Fuji was debries getting in somwhere and overheating it

Possibly, and normally the incident alone wouldn't have been a worry, but having to use their joker because of suspected damage prior to Singapore adds to that. Still, I don't think Lewis will have any issues with it at Brazil.

If he races like today it should be a case of quaifying as high up the grind as possible then just driving around 1st 2nd or 3rd i expect

what a boring race

With the best result near perfact drive by Lewis Hamilton

Well, at least it wasn't made exciting by Lewis screwing up another start on pole. I was really expecting him to shoot himself in his foot somehow. I didn't [i]want[i] him to, but after Japan and other blunders earlier in the season (I'm looking at you, Canada), I just had the feeling he was going to toss the championship right out the window somewhere.

From F1 Live:

Flavio Briatore in China reportedly apologised to Lewis Hamilton after giving a scathing interview to Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Renault boss was quoted as predicting Hamilton will 'throw away' the 2008 title, and slammed the hype surrounding McLaren's championship leader.

"You should tell him that he is a Formula One driver, not a Martian," said Briatore. "He is not Muhammad Ali."

According to British newspapers, Briatore regretted his comments on the eve of the Chinese Grand Prix and moved to apologise to the 23-year-old driver.

"Briatore spoke to a Mercedes official, who he asked to convey his apologies to Lewis," a McLaren insider in Shanghai told the News of the World.

Daily Express correspondent Bob McKenzie added: "Briatore said he had not meant to be offensive and although he did not see Hamilton, he asked for his apology to be passed on."
