i think Mclaren have improved the tire ware issue. Also i do believe LH will stroll to victory as Ferrari wont be at thier best until the track has completley rubbered in. I think before they even get to the super softs it will be a 2 big of a gap for Massa to close. Wot is going on with Kimi as i thought he was suppose 2 be the wc?

Apologies for going off subject, but I also think Piquet is an interesting one. He was so far off the pace in Q3 that I can only assume they've fuelled him very heavily and are hoping for a repeat of Germany.
I can't see him troubling the podium but if he can be top 6 it would be another remarkable performance

Kimi has lost it, I reckon his retirement will be soon on the cards.

As Massa rightly said in the press conference, a few races ago Mclaren were underperforming, now it appears Ferrari are underperfroming. The sport probably far more than any other is cyclical and you can be sure that the current situation won`t last long - the only question really is can Mclaren maintain the car advantage long enough to allow Hamilton to sustain a championship run ? You can be sure Luca Montezemolo is going to be throwing both Euros and toys from his pram to ensure the red cars fight back asap.....in my opinion I don`t even think this weekend is a write off just yet for the Italians !

LH is driving amazingly peaking at just the rite time and should be able to push on and win the championship from here

Hamilton is the only winner tomorrow, barring mechanical issues/Massa lock up at thr first corner!

I just wish the race was at a decent track tomorrow - Hungary is utter crap and should be dropped (but it wont because Bernie seems to love it!)

Anyone who also watched the F2 race will know that overtaking is realy only as a result of the leading car making a mistake and going off line , so the driver who keeps it on line is almost impossible to pass. so it will come down to who gets off the line best and the lap 2 positions as assuming no stupid mistakes bringing out a safety car it will be a simple race. Having said that, I think a safety car is highly likely primarily due toheat attrition on driver and car!
Ferrari may have a better tyre life than McLaren during the race but then unless Ferrari are actually challenging prior to a first pit stop it may end up being a "drive more slowly" race for the McLaren's!! (just to save tyres and fuel)

If we do have a safety car issue just when pit stops are expected, why does the pit lane have to be closed? and why coulnt every team declare with 2 full laps warning any driver needing fuel during a safety car deployment. You could restrict/bann tyre changes under a safety car except for punctures etc then only 1 tyre etc if thought that this "gained an unfair advantage" however to penalise a car/driver for not anticipating an accident just prior to a planned pit stop does give an unfair advantage to those not needing fuel.

Wonder how long it will be before a Torro Rosso beats Kimi to the finish?(no punn intended)

Dunno about that. He is confident, modest as he has ever been (joke...) and from -.500 per lap McCacca is now 1.000 up.

Kimi is already on vacation and Massa is trying but a sec per lap is too much.
