Isit just me or is this season just the best season we have ever had. i have watched F1 for 11 immense years!!! I still can't get my head around the Force India!!!

hamilton & JB for the win folks!!!

[JamesD89]

With the Hamilton/Buemi incident, could we see a Ferrari on the front row tomorrow...

Nope. It's already been confirmed that no action will be taken.

Anyne could see that Hamilton was trying to slow down. He was as far over to the right as he could be. Good call for the stewards---for a change.

He could have slowed down more than he did. It would have been one more ridiculous way to mess up Lewis Hamilton's Sunday afternoon so I'm glad they let it slide.

If it were Button and Vettel, would they have done the same?

So, Kovalainen is in the best position to win this, really. If he can KERS forward a couple of places early on, this should be his. In fact, there are only three drivers that look like they aren't one-stopping tomorrow, and those are Hamilton, Sutil and Raikkonen (although he could run a long second stint to do a one-stop). I don't think any of those will win.

any news on the fuel loads??

edit sorry you posted it while i registerd

[Bruno_Brazil]

Kovalainen or Rubinho...Rubinho has 1 lap more to run...

But my bet is still on Hamilton...

I would bet 75% of my money on LH and 25% on KR.

Hamilton will have to be on the limit all day - he has nothing to lose. Should make for great viewing.

anyone that criticizes lewis is just jealous

[Hexagram]

Kimi is the danger man if he can stay in touch with Hamilton. That said Brawn are looking good with their fuel loads but Alonso might get them at the start with his KERS button.

[Acenyc]

Was it worth it for Hamilton to go lite on fuel just to try(and get) P1 if he has to make two stops? What's the thinking/strategy here?

Yeah, I wish I could crash in to the back of a rival in the pit lane. How I long for it. I'd love to lie to some stewards, too. Yep.

I guess he thinks that he's got the pace to build up big enough gaps to his rivals.
