[Ferrari man 009]

I ask a question here, do you UK viewers want to see a good race at 7am or a crappy, wet, delayed race at 9am?

I dont mind, I'll watch the race when it is on regardless of the time. I dont actually think starting the race at 5AM UK, 7AM UK or 9AM UK makes that much difference, all 3 times are considered "early" for a Saunday Morning.

It was also the race where Eddie Irvine scored his last points.

It was his last win, but not his last points. Those were for 3rd at Monza (behind the 2 Ferrari's) in 2002!

Yeah last win, not ppoints. Red the Wikipedia page incorrectly.

Yet the seven times world champion, Michael Schumacher did much worse; yet he'll be considered a great because of his achievements using such methods!

I know MSC did some awful moves back in they day .... But none THAT blatant.... At least he tried to even pretend they were accidental....? No?

My point is that if Cicoto goes onto F1 and goes on to win multiple world titles, will this move be remembered as a bad thing or just "aggressive driving", success taints peoples perceptions!

It's ridiculous. I'm happy to get up to watch the race at a time that is best for the hosting country. ( a worse issue for me is not having sky so can't watch live for most races unless I go to someone's house who does have sky)
I think most serious uk fans are happy to get up at whatever time to watch the race. All part of the package.

If you lived near me you would be more than welcome to come watch it here xD because that way I'd have someone I could actually talk to about Formula 1 which would be awesome! I wouldn't care what hour I watch all sessions.

We've had Nando and his "chicken" chicanes now we have Sutil's KERS curbs
A good reason for the engineer/driver to speak the same native tongue

Very good pace from Lewis considering he set his time 25mins before Vettel,but Vettel was on slighty used tyres I believe,FI right in there too,Ferrari have slipped back,Kimi looks a off the pace atm,Button going well,Rosberg slighty lower than I wanted him,0.5 covers the top 9

[Hammer278]

What happened to Rosberg? Good to see Lewis up there though, hope there's still more up Merc's sleeves.

[Hammer278]

Rosberg is on fire!! Too bad the rain had to f**k things up for Q3, now its going to just be a freakin shuffle. I was looking forward to see who had what pace but looks like that'd have to wait for China.

Damnit I was really hoping Merc would pull both drivers in for new inters....but I think this was the drivers' decisions. Merc had a big chance to lock out the front row here.

4th qualifying in a row Lord Alonso has been beaten by his teammate.

Good stuff again from Massa. Hopefully this will set him up for a good result tomorrow.

Wonder if the Red Bull will be able to maintain decent race pace in a dry race tomorrow, or if we'll see similar performance to Australia?

[Hammer278]

What happens now, since they qualified on inters...all of them have a choice of which tyres to start the race now correct?

Correct.

[Denthúl]

Yup. Which should be interesting...

[al4x]

Personally I'm waiting hoping for hot, dry and high tyre wear!

Would be great to see Massa challenge Vettel in the T1,2,3.
Massa got nothing to lose, and got more to prove that he's worth his seat, so you'd expect that Vettel would give up because he needs to bring in points and get the car to finish. Then knowing Vettels competitive attitude and crashes even with a team mate a few seasons ago I'm sure he wouldn't give in too easily.

That's what I hope to see in the start, I'm likely to dissapointed and it's gonna be a clear easy start and after T3: Vettel, Alonso, xxx, Massa.

In the race I expect Kimi to get a podium not win but up significantly and if it doesn't rain win I believe is Alonso over Vettel. With rain all open and especially Mercedes will climb up to podium positions.

That us what I put my 2 $ on or maybe even ten.
