You see, I said that Ferrari might have an "off" weekend, and so far it seems, I am right. With Kimi so far down, I cannot see the Iceman taking victory. I realistically think it is between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa.

Both of the aforementioned drivers have been on fire this weekend, and they are joint favourites to take the victory.

Yet again, Sebastien Vettel is banging in the hot laps, outperforming his teammate Sebastian Bourdais. Vettel was announced as David Coulthard's successor at Red Bull, and the confidence he has is growing.

Rain is predicted yet again. I can't remember the last Grand Prix in which I haven't heard the word rain mentioned. Now watch the twats at Greenpeace blame it all on the "Climate Change."

Short one here, I am impressed with many drivers, but I have a child shouting at me, so I will keep the little git happy.

Back tomorrow with my race recap, perhaps.

P.S. I am not a father at 18. It's my three-year-old nephew...

  1. I really thought Kimi would bounce back and challenge strongly this weekend. Hmm, oh well. Its always nice to see!

    1. very nice indeed mate. i did predict a poor weekend for the tifosi, and it's just right at the moment.

  2. Say hi to your nephew and boy are you glad that you are right, I sure hope that Kimi does a Suzuka

    1. if kimi does a suzuka, that would be amazing. my nephew is gone now, never have i treasured silence so much. ah the peace. still, cannot wait to max the volume on my tv to the sound of 16,500 bhp. best feeling ever, knowing that if your neighbours are sleeping (say if it is an early morning race, like aussie) you are sure to wake them up. lovely.

  3. I just noticed, you mentioned that you expect battle between Lewis and Felipe? Why don't you expect battle between Lewis and Heikki? I think simply cause it's impossible. The 23 car is not allowed to fight with 22 car.
    Oh well, i couldn't sleep, my daughter woke me up (future Rally champion), waiting for the race, and yes, it is cloudy near track and cold, so we'll see about the rain.

    1. yup, you noticed, and that was a mistake. I meant to say lewis, felipe and heikki. just as long as he doesn't continue his rallying antics from yesterday.

  4. Well I got my qualifying prediction right for Lewis to be pole but the rest was very wrong ... Just checked back on my preview and its looking kind of possible but I wish I could change it ha ha ... Oh well ... In the words of Stefano Domenicali "We will see in the race tomorrow"

    1. hehe, cannot wait mate. I did say a macca 1-2, and I'm sticking to it. Trulli put in a geat performance yesterday, and the red bulls are getting better.

      not long now, my ears will bleed with the volume at the max, but it is all worth it.

    2. Yeah I will be cranking up the volume but not as loud as normal ... Today the fiance is watching it with me and she wont let me have it as loud as I normally do when she is out. Oh well ... Should be a good race none the less ... Would love to see that Mac 1-2 today ... Jesus we need it !
