Hope he starts - we've yet to see him cutting through the pack and I think it'll be a good indicator of just what we have on our hands. Irrespective of possible injury, you'd expect him to push like hell and hopefully show he's not all Mr Nice Guy.
i'm with you on that shug......
any predictions on where he could finish?
i'm goin for 5th

Amateurs.................you would think that they could handle a little bit of aquaplaning on the track, we have to.

I think it was six of them that came off on the same corner. Entertaining to watch Hamilton keep his engine running, get lifted out onto the track by a crane, and carry on his merry way.

Wrong choice though to go on drys too earlier, though you could see his reasoning if it had worked.

Great pass by Alonso on Massa... one of the best races yet.

Red Bull must be happy with a 3rd & 5th surely?

How the hell did Hamilton get away with sitting in his car - I thought that as soon as the car was imobilised the driver was required to stick it in neutral and get over the barrier (like all the other drivers did)

You can get away with it if the car is still running and is in a 'dangerous' area...think all the other drivers stalled their car. The Macy is quite good at 'ticking over' apparently.

Why didn't Ralf just sit in this car then? - he followed the regs and bailed out.

It's not like he got a push from a marshal within a few seconds - the car had to be lifted on to the track.
