    I think this depends on which Ferrari you were watching.
    Massa was back to his messiest, whilst Alonso was very smooth and controlled whenever I watched him. Failing unforeseen mishap, I expect to see Alonso on the podium – but not on the top step!

    Turns out something was not as it should be with Massa's car but even still I'd say Alonso's car seemed to be squirming a lot, maybe he was just pushing the boundaries more.

    Anyway, McLaren's Hamilton and Button bemoan poor pace

    Hamilton seems mildly optimistic whilst Button is less so.

    I thought they'd be for spilling your beans in to when Vettel wins.

    :p

    Webber using upgrades that Seb hasn't used yet, a new side pod airflow design and a new tyre squirt which I heard is a remake of the one used at Monaco and then banned.

    I would normally be up at stupid o'clock (3:30am here) to watch... but I'm going to sit this one out and DVR it. It looks like a promising finale is going to fizzle out, so bugger it... my beauty sleep is way more important. :)

    Barring any bad luck... it's signed, sealed and delivered for 3 in a row for Vettel I'd wager. Not sure if that is good news or bad news for a Vettel fan though as 3 in a row might see the powers that be wanting to put an end to that.

    They tried it in 2011 by in respect cutting off RBR's balls (tackling EBD issue) and they still dominated again eventually. Even after more alterations this season RBR have found another way to get ahead of the rest, so you could be correct in thinking that RBR will always find a way to be up the top of the other teams no matter the restrictions.

    If this form continues into next season and 2014 I would expect Seb to not leave RBR ever, unless certain key personnel leave as well. It's not the case they have too much power in relation to Ferrari years, it's just the team as a whole is just too ****ing good! They have all bases covered bar straight line speed.

    Ferrari fans look away now. Add together Red Bull drivers' best FP3 sector times, you get 1:25.1. That's 0.9secs faster than anyone else

    Somebody said a few days ago was I trying to be Ms World, that's not something that comes around often in conversations unless it's either the same person or Brundle is reading this forum and learning how to be funny.
