Japap GP - 17 seconds of full throttle!
Season is coming to an end and I know Hami is tasting the champagne.
Will he go all out? Maca needs all the points to stay ahead in the constructors. This would be a beautiful event given last years debacle.
Kova...Step up man.
Night race! So, hoist em if you got em, and let the trash talk begin.

Pray for rain, thats all I'm hoping for. I really hope something happens to massa's car or Kimi out guns him in this race. I really don't wanna see last year happen all over again.

I am really looking forward to this race. It could prove to be the pivotal race of the season. If Hami can lock in a solid finish or a win, and pull away in the points, it will not help Massa to win in Brazil. Heikki needs to step up and take points away from Ferrari for the contructors championship. As of right now, I think the forecast is for a dry race, but you never know. I hope it rains just to see a more exciting race.

Hami "pushes" Kimi a little making Kimi go a little off track... Drive through penalty.
Massa slams into Hami spinning him out and dropping him back to 18th... Drive though penalty.
Are both penalties equal??? push a car to the side of the track while going into a corner, other car losses a position... slam into a car dropping him to the very back while your pitcrew jumps up and down like some ****
Massa should have at least had a stop and go.
Sebass comes out of the pit lane staying as far right as he can, Massa goes to the right in stead of staying in the middle or going to the left of the track. The result is they hit... announcers say it is Massa's fault yet FIA give Sebass a 25 second penalty.
WTF!!!

It was heikki that pushed kimi wide. And what's with the BS penalty on bourdais? He did not move from his line and the only way to avoid massa would be to go on the grass. FIArrari is a effin joke.

It is quite possible that I'll buy a BMW in the futre, but I'll never wear any color but whatever garish gear McLaren can come up with.
Now if McLaren associated with BMW....

I won't comment on the penalty, but he managed to go to the very back of the field all on his own (well, maybe Massa helped a little). Even without Massa spinning him, Lewis seriously flatspotted his fronts with his banzai first corner move and would have had to manage an extra pitstop from 6th position and probably still be out of the points or even with a bigger point gap to Massa. In a way, he's lucky that Massa punted him and got penalized, cause his race was compromised anyway.

Interesting - and mostly balanced - article on Alonso, who has scored the most points in the last 6 races (not just the last two), but still continues to attract suspicion/skepticism from many team principals.
http://www.motortrend.com/features/e...ure/index.html
The door has closed on a Scuderia move for 09, but the article highlights an interesting association (that with Spanish banking giant Santander) which may ultimately facilitate his move to a scarlet car. For 09 perhaps BMW-Sauber have missed a step, as Heidfeld is clearly behind the pace and can hardly be called a safe or consistent choice to pair up with Robert Kubica - certainly the much-maligned Eddie Irvine and Rubens Barrichello consistently put up more points even when they were being clearly outpaced by their more illustrious team-mate.
