If it is wet, I expect a exciting race but that is IMO and I am not trying to pick a fight or anything... But Albers has been sent to the back of the grid for missing the weightbridge..
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
In a way I'm disappointed that Michelin have such a dominance in wet tires. I consider myself a purist, and prefer to see the drivers battle on relatively equal machinery. But we have to live with the weather, whatever it deals to us. But then again, Hungary was probably the most interesting and exciting race of the season. So maybe rain isn't such a bad thing.

Thisd is a recent phenomenon. We all can remember when the B'Stones ruled in the wet, especially their intermediates. My how the tables have turned. Irony and fate are afoot. See this thread too... Clicky
Innovation over refinement is the prefered path to performance. -- Get rid of the dopey regs in F1
well....to quote Sam Posey when i interviewed him, "...Schumacher is not that exceptional in the rain..."
(ill see if i can get that video uploaded somewhere...its 18 and a half minutes long)
damn... forecasts 2 hrs prerace show overcast w/ chance of rain... unless schumacher actually proves his "rainmeister" title, i'd bet on a boring michelin domination
If it rains, it would be through a miracle drive that Shu even scores points. Bridgestone really are at a disadvantage in the rain. But if it is dry, I expect the opposite. Rain or not, this should be an exciting and eventful race.
I am looking for a great race and I do not htink rain wil porvide that, but rain is rain, and that means unexpected ahppenings. All in all, I believe this will be a good race to view.
Not only the wheel nut, he showed lack of judgement changing tyres when nobody else was doing it. You could hear barrichelo screaming on his way to the pits "leave these tyres on!".
I'm looking at my Brazil GP ticket with anticipation...
How could Schuey’s Ferrari start the race with rings/covers on rear wheels (officially ducts and part of braking system) and finish race legally without them when ducts as a part of braking system are subject of post race scrutinizing? Ducts can’t be *found on car and inspected in “Parc Ferme” and they were on car when car pre-race inspections.
*Please don’t tell me that Ferrari can give them to FIA from garage because that is completely against whole idea of “Parc Ferme” – what enters the race must match what is found in “Parc Ferme” so that it can be inspected by FIA.
