Do we remember Mark Webber's amazing fightback from the back of the grid here last year? I'm looking forward to seeing Lewis do the same, but it should hopefully only be from something like 6th or 7th.

I'm guessin webber will get 4th or 5th, something close to that or ahead, preferably, and rocket up to first place so lewis will have to wait!!

So they'll end up battling for the lead at some point around mid-distance! Just wait until they lock horns down that massive back straight!

I always get nervous whenever Lewis tries to overtake Webber....that guy rather runs himself of the road/crash instead of letting a car pass him. Australia 2010, Singapore 2010 being prime examples.

Third time lucky maybe?

Well Webber makes bad starts so maybe he'll be right out of the way Not that I wish that on Webber, Id like him to be up there.....just so long as he keeps away from Lewis.

webber may have bad luck with lewis, but generally he plays fair. Remember he and lewis in korea last year? That was an epic battle that lasted at least five turns with no contact. And all the times webber and alonso have duked it out and never had contact. Massa is the one anybody should be concerned about with lewis, but then again, the only time he'll be side by side lewis this year is when he gets the blue flags

Just watching replays of the 1st and 2nd practice - and Ted Kravitz has said that it seems McLaren knew that the gearbox would need changing before they had left Malaysia - but only told Lewis two days ago......

Kid Gloves if fear of sending him on a downward spiral....?

Yeah i was thinking if theres a crack they would have noticed it after packing everything up from Sepang. Unless the crack happened in transit. A 3 week break knowing you're starting on the back foot probably isn't ideal for Lewis.

So tell him just before instead of letting him get used to the idea and think about how best to deal with it. Or maybe they'd already reassured him it was ok after the 'glitch' in Australia and didnt want to tell him, actually, its not ok

Oh my god,

[LRW]

Oh my god,

the blue touch paper is too easy to light round here....

[Hammer278]

Nothing against bud, but I must admit I gain some pleasure in seeing RC keep causing him distress whenever she disses McLaren.

[bud]

I bet if they told him at KL then shed be pissed they ruined his 3 week preparation... Think you catch my drift.

Haha yeah! I saw that earlier and couldn't believe it!

[LRW]

Ha ha ha ha - Hamilton the Midget - No wonder he wins races every now and then - he is the same size and weight of a squirrel.

That's extraordinary!
