Thanks you guys, how nice of you two..

You're right..Kimi isnt underrated..he's overrated, right??

(just came home from a friends house, and he made fun of kimi too, telling me what kind of loser he is.. )

I'm afraid I do think he is a little overrated. He's good, no doubt about it, and very quick on raw pace. However some people seem to think he's the best driver in F1, which anyone with sense knows is Alonso. His talent is wildly overstated sometimes. How many people said he was going to embarass Massa this season? In reality he has beaten him.. but only just.

BTW, your friend is an ....., if he thinks anyone that makes to F1 level is a 'loser'. That includes the guys at the back of the grid, too.

True, he seems to be overrated. Or people just expected too much from him, so did I. 4 years ago I was sure he would definitely take a title, maybe 2. Never happened. I still think it can happen, maybe next year, maybe never. Oh you shouldnt listen to those crazy kimi fans who say he's the best, cause he just aint!! Fernando is better, and Lewis probably too, although I would like to see Lewis in an average car, and see what he would do. Both Raikkonen and Alonso impressed us when they werent driving top teams.

Yeah, he can act like an ..... at times, but he's not an ..... though. Otherwise I wouldnt be friends with him. He's just a Lewis fan and I guess he's sooo excited about lewis maybe winning the title..that he starts talking crap. Kinda weird, he used to be a Kimi fan I think, but some people always feel the need to support the one who's winning I guess.

Of course I wasn't. I said, I just came from that friend's house. If I remember correctly, Tom lives in England.

Tommy, would I ever say bad things about you on the forum???

(not including the times I made you out to be an alcoholic or gay cause you're obviously NOT!!!).

Who knows???

I dont think so though. I think Heikki will stay at Renault, Fisi will leave, and maybe Fernando will re-join Renault. Back to the team where he got all the support

I was joking, actually, hence the smilies. You didn't have to be so patronising about it.

According to Marca.com (spanish site) Ferrari has logged a protest agaisnt Hamilton for impeding Raikkonen in his quali lap.

Last time Ferrari did that IIRC was Monza 2006, Alonso got handed a 10 place grid penalty for "impeding" Massa. Considering Alonso was hardly in Massa's sight during that lap (about half a km ahead) I wonder what the FIA will do in this case with same offended but different offender (if the news is true).

I bet on Hamilton gets away with it!

I'd like to see that from a reliable source, and even if they have i doubt the data would show anything conclusive. I think the affect was more in Kimis concentration than car being unsettled. I guess we'll see.

Thrilling session though. Lewis is too damn good (i should be used to it by now). The ferraris i think will be strong tomorrow, Alonso looked questionable throughout. I'm not feeling optimistic.

Poor Heiki, i was hoping for a decent end of season for him.

I wasn't petronising. Like you, I was also joking, but I didn't use the smilies, my mistake, seems people always get me wrong..

Kimi did lose some time because of Hamilton, but nothing we can do about it now. Kimi just has to fight hard tomorrow, nothing else he can do really. Personally, I dont think that will be enough, I would love to be wrong of course.

The race should be interesting. I expect ferrari to be strong, but McLaren wont be too far away. I dunno what to expect from the start to be honest. I think Lewis will make it to the podium, if he'll stay in front of Alonso, the title will be his.

Cant wait for tomorrow!!!!

Does anyone else get the feeling its gonna be close quaters between Kimi and Lewis? They nearly collided on Friday, Lewis supposedly hampered Kimi's lap in Qualifying, there seems to be a bit of animosity between them. To add to that, Kimi is starting on the grippier side of the grid, and the Ferrari is very good off the line, so its very possible he's going to attack Hamilton into T1, and having seen the chopping tactics Hamilton normally employs, it could all end in tears..

Its gotten to the point where i am too scared to speculate anymore!! I am just so excited that the time has come. Beers in the fridge and all breakable objects safely stored away

Alarm switched off, phone off the hook, younger brother in a cage, etc

What's the weather?

Hey and be nice to your younger brother

It says 'T-Storms'.. whatever that means

Hey and be nice to your younger brother

Oh don't worry, I have ways of keeping him occupied.. Sweets being one of them

I came across these screencaps on another forum of the incident yesterday:







He seems to turn into Raikkonen's line on the second photo. If it was any other driver they'd probably have been penalised

Did anyone else read the transcript from yesterdays press conference and think that the rediculous slagging match that the reporters started with Lewis was funny?
