I’m with Coulthard, I don’t care who wins (less his foul language). But it’s fun reading these sites each day, dreamer’s like nellyweb make me smile, technocrats like Alianora make my head spin, leave it to her to come up with the fringe outcome, and of course enough cursing at MadMax to keep me happy. I’ll pick a number from a hat (helmet) …… 23?

Seems there have been a few comments about Max’s head exploding,and as I recall we discussed thwacking him in the head with the FIA rulebook a few weeks ago.Maybe it is time to for us to have a “Punch Max in the head” flashgame to vent our frustrations…huh?

My predictions: Massa wins, Hamilton takes second and clinches title, Kimi wrecks, and Alonso pops his engine from driving it too hard.

I don’t expect a whole lot of heroics; I’ve decided that it’s best to have few expectations before the race so that any little mishap can be a pleasant surprise.

By the way, I see what Clive means about the paint getting spilt. The paddock now looks like a zebra crossing. I’m just waiting for the photograph of Max Mosely standing in the middle with a lollipop and reflective coat…

Keith,

Really, it does not sound very convincing.
Still, it is not too much bad, that they try temporize.

Yea, Alonso and Hamilton seem real friendly all of a sudden.. that along with reports on other sites certainly seem to suggest that a deal has been made and Alonso’s and McLaren’s future has been decided.

Perhaps this from a story on Autosport today would shed further light:

[Alonso] also suggested that the media had read too much into McLaren boss Ron Dennis's use of the phrase "we were racing Fernando" when referring to Hamilton's strategy in the Chinese GP. "I was surprised, but I think it is difficult to see what is true, what is just normal words that you say after the race and if you take in a different way you can make some problems," Alonso said. "I don't see anything strange, I was surprised but not really worried."

Keith,

If Dennis said that, do we must to understand another thing more convenient?
If Ecclestone talks, do we must change his meaning and understand something more correct?
I agree with you that it could be just a misunderstanding in the way to say it, but still I have not seen Dennis clearing this.
Well, It seems there is 2 ways to understand this meaning, being legitimates both interpretations, it is clear only one is right, and only Dennis knows it.

James Allen’s head exploding….That’s a beautiful end to a superb year of F1.

I can’t predict how it will go on Sunday, I change my mind every 5 mins… What if this or that!!!! Argh, stop it I’m doing it now!

I think Fernando will win the race – He has little to worry about. He is almost out of Mclaren and can just race hard for the win. Lewis will come in 3rd with Kimi second….Or will it…. No Nakajima will do it…!
