Just got to pray Webber and Vettel don't score big time and that if Barrichello does, Jenson will respond in Monza..



He will have to be VERY lucky to keep his record of scoring in every race - he is fuelled long, so we might have to wait until the last few laps ;)



Suspect Trulli or Raikkonen for the win ..

These are 3 day tickets, practice, qualifying and race day, they're also interchangeable to anyone can use them on those days without having to go on every day. I guess hotels will be inflated that week so I don't know what that may cost but if you're going i'd book now. I may be able to get you in somewhere in dubai quite cheaply and thats about 40 mins drive fom the track. Hire care or taxi isn't too much.

The tickets are not produced until 2 maybe 1 week before so I'll have to courier then to you from UAE.

Well done Fisi, and Thanks ( for nothing) Grosjean for taking out Jenson...



We could / should have seen a Fisi win - if it hadn't been for the safety car..

I've long been a Vitantonio Liuzzi fan.. so I hope his second bite at the F1 cherry is more successful..

mmmmmm, He was to young and had a cocky attitude first time round. Maybe if he is head strong now he could make a few points for force india. But like most these young ones they've not got it mentally. They come in after winning most other series and think they can win F1. But no.

re msg 14



You mean like Lewis Hamilton or Alonso ;)



Yeah - I know you did say most.. but as most of these guys start with teams who are at the back of the grid....



The driver who has most impressed me recently is Rosberg jnr ..
