[goferrarigo]

Oh, i can't handle the nerves... . I wonder what he is feeling like right now, especially when the red lights go out.
FORZA FERNANDO!

FORZA FERRARI!

[Ferrari_Fanatic]

same here! i've waited ages for this day and i'm gonna rub it in everyones face later when nando does it!

[goferrarigo]

In a way i want the race to go quite slowly since it is the last race of the season and it will be almost half a year till the next one however in a way i just want the time to fly by just to see nando cross the line in either the correct position to win the title or not. either way i can't wait. I'm already practicing my Fernando chant. lol

[Mitra]

cant wait
i just keep looking at the clock, but i know it isnt time yet because there is still light outside

[F1BUZZ]

Best of luck to our boys in red.

[Tommy_F]

I started to lose hope after Silverstone, but Fernando didn't, and he said then that he will win the Championship. And a few months later, he is in a prime position to do so. It's been an incredible recovery and all the team deserves our praise for what they have done.

I couldn't believe what lap Fernando pulled out yesterday , it was amazing!

Now with only the race left, the tension is mounting, but I am hopeful that Fernando will keep out of trouble and bring the F10 home to win the WDC. Bring on the race!!!

Forza Ferrari!

Race countdown: 5hrs 27mins

The fizzy's in the fridge, Melendi's 'El Nano' is on the iPod and I do so hope that at the end of the race I can join everyone on this site to turn the whole thread red

GO! GO! GO! FERRARI!

[Stormsearcher]

[milantito]

while this is so and its all looking good. We shouldnt get ahead of ourselves. There is a whole race to go and we should pray it goes well. We shall celebrate big time afterwards.

[stealth]

Best of luck to both our boys for a good, error free, accident free race.

[shostak]

Today my second dream can be true. The first was Fernando driving a Ferrari, the second Fernando winning the WDC with Ferrari.

Agree, I'm so super nervous right now

We still have a hard race ahead of us. With Vettel at the front, and Webber only separated by Button which I think he will be able to past fairly quickly, we need to have everything going right for us. Many thing can still happen.

[Ferrarichamp]

I feel quite calm and confident
Red Bull have often had issues, engines and brakes overheating, and Alonso knows how to handle the race.

[Kingdom Hearts]

Forza Alonso , Forza Ferrari, this is our day.

[SilverSpeed]

I'll think I'll pass dinner this noon, no way it's going to stay inside with this much stress.


Let's hope the hotter temperatures will cause breakdowns for the RB's But I'm scared of Webber passing Fernando and hoping that Lewis doesn't burn his tyres in less then 12 laps and thus enableling Webber to pass him.


Oh the HORROR!!!!!

But on the other side it's hard to pass here and the RB don't have the topspeed on the Ferrari's (I think) to pass them on the straight so.

[schuey612]

I can't believe i'm so excited, especially when i think back to after germany when i nearly turned f1 off for good after some silly stewards decisions and team orders. but now i completely understand the team orders and they seem the stewards seem to have stopped making the rules up as they go along and am throughly back in love with f1. i can't wait for the race, but also don't want it to be the end of the season, what am i gona do on sunday afternoons now!!!
FORZA FERNANDO, FORZA FELIPE and FORZA FERRARI!!!!

[scuderiafan]

Felipe could be the key. if he gets in front of Webber, he has 2 men whose job it is to slow him down. Hopefully Button stays behind Alonso aswell.
FORZA FELIPE

[SanderV]

Good morning all. I have a pretty good feeling about the race. I'm not thinking about it too much. We'll see if Fernando makes it, I'm confident. Whatever happens, we can be proud of the team's performance this season. Besides, I was lucky enough to witness the Monza victory this season, one of the best experiences of my life.

Let's hope for the best

[Hornet]

Yep, I hope Felipe will be able to get ahead of Webber at the start. It would be a huge relief for us if he does

I think the Macs are faster than webber this weekend. I dont think he will have it that easy to get past button. Of course, he might knock him off the track and fragile that the mclaren is... webber will be safely through. We need felipe to get in the mix and ahead of both button and webber. Well, atleast webber.

[SilverSpeed]

Yeah since Webber copyd Vettels setup he went faster just before Q.

Webber and Abu Dabi aint a good marriage but he still have one of the fastest car it seems so let's hope for the best!

[Nathan]

My nerves are tingling...this has been set-up to be one nail-biting race

[Julie B]

All I can say is

[Hermann]

There is shower activity building up in the area.

@MikeGascoyne

Some showers around on the weather radar!!!

Even some light showers could make it really interesting.

[Mitra]

when does the BBC pre show start so i know when to start looking for a stream

cheers

[epiclyaddicted]

I'm so nervous, it's absolutely silly!

But I have got a positive vibe, we CAN do this. Just need both our boys to have a good clean race.

I completely gave up hopes for the title after Valencia, and even more so after Silverstone, and took Fernando's words then with a huge pinch of salt. But how right was he?!

Forza Fernando! Forza Felipe! Forza Ferrari!

cheers

BBC coverage starts 12:10pm UK (GMT) time.

[Mitra]

thanks ek583

[Mrs.Domenicali]

As long as there are no silly incidents at the start I think we are in a great position. Fernando has a cool and intelligent head on his shoulders and Felipe is the consummate team player, if he can help he will. Can't believe how nervous I feel.

Forza Ferrari!
