I dont think lewis will have any problem in the rain at all tbh like most drivers from the uk he is used to it lol.

Alonso is probably the best one out there in the rain and even he dropped the car in Japan last year and was a lot slower than lewis in china. But its the end result that counts and the 3 races last year lewis won 1 alonso won 1 and kimi won 1.

Hamilton flounder around in the wet? Did you not watch Fuji last year?

Lewis' driving style is too "HOT"
Under dry condition he can show all his talent out but wet
Kimi is one of the smoothest driver now on grid
Although he doesn't drive like MS but as you saw
he can manage to drive quick
with cold tyres or seriously worn tyres
His driving style is much better than Lewis

If tomorrow will have heavy rain
maybe Sutil can do the job as seem in Monaco FP last year

Trulli fastest in Q1. That'll get eyes blinking in the paddock. Less than a second between the top 16.

Blergh...Massa on pole is really awful. Can't stand the commentators talking about it. At least, Kimi looks like he is heavier, so should win easily tomorrow.

Dire, dire work from McLaren after their final lap there. They should be hauled in front of the stewards for that.

Ferrari obviously have a clear advantage here. Perhaps more that McLaren are slow than Ferrari quick.

Lewis won last year in the wet dont forget, and he looked very smooth driving in melbourne last week. the comparison you make is a bit baseless, remember kimi overdriving in 2005? ie at nurburgring where he wrecked his tire? if his driving style is much better then that makes massa the best driver in the world as he drives faster then kimi quite consistently, and again today in qualifying, pole position to massa.

interesting kovaleinen already upstages hamilton in only 2nd race outqualifies him. i wonder if he does this consistenly if hamilton will still be all buddy buddy towards him in press conferences.

Well done Felipe, but it's like last year all over again. Maybe Massa will get 07 stuck in his head, over-focus on Hamilton and let Raikkonnen shoot past? I hope Kovi goes defensive on Hammy allowing Trulli to swoop around the outside.

I fully expect both mclarens to be dropped 5 places on the grid.

You also had massa in the middle of the track as well half on and half off the racing line but I dont think he held up nick.

tbh I dont think the mclarens did either but nick had to move off then on the line again and then messed up the corner.

Thats why they will get done though as they were going slow on the racing line.

Something needs to be done about them in laps. Downright dangerous. I can see at least Kovalainen getting a penalty as he was on the racing line and in the braking zone. Can't really see how you could penalise him and not the other three who were doing the same though.

Massa has got to be running light, I would say Raikkonen has maybe one or maybe two laps less than the McLarens. I expect him to romp home tomorrow. The Macca's have more fuel, but not enough to be able to overhaul the Ferrari's. Hamilton has either made a balls up of his setup or gone for a dry/wet setup, his car looked evil to drive.

Yeah
The in-lap is ridiculously slow
Both Marcca drivers were in the racing line while others doing hot lap
While Nick got pass Felipe and Kimi
they put their cars beside the racing line
FIA may investigate this

Great quali from Ferrari's and from Heikki...Trulli was suprise again :) Kimi wasn't really that happy (after his superb lap in q2 he should have been on pole) with his final q3 lap he had grip problems but maybe he has 1 or few laps more fuel onboard than Massa and Kimi is also better/more consistant on race pace than Felipe.McLaren doesn't challenge Ferrari if dry but if raining then it can be a very different story ...Kova is also very good on wet races.Anyway will be an interesting race ahead of us for sure.

What I understood is that Ferrari and McLaren are waiting the rain to come in a different moment during the race.
Let's see who will be the lucky one this Sunday :)
