Wow. I guess if Vettel wins the championship again next year, they are going to start calling him Mr. Senna

Nothing pathetic about it. We all know that is where the car is this year, so they got the max out of it.
Race is tomorrow, we are always better on raceday.

Hamilton will let 3 cars past him and wait for Massa. Mark my words.

In other words...

Hamilton: "I am going to crash"

We look ok in practice, but when its time to Q, we've been not so good..hopefully we'll be a bit better in the race, but really, nah..if we get podium I'll be reasonably ok with it..but really..nah. I think we hit the zenith of development with the 150 3/4 thru the season...it appears theres simply nothing else we can to do w/it. Sure is a pretty race car though..

How can massa's front wing be flapping and not Alonsos? Seems like everything happens to massa. Quite funny, it just makes no sense at all, its in a straight line for gods sake.
