    With great power comes great responsibility!

    It's obvious I'm not ready to become part of the Avengers...

    You know... I think it's time that we extend the term "Hamelot" so that it's no longer a derogatory term for Hamilton fans, but more of a blanket term that describes any individual that takes their driver support to the limit of sanity.

    ;)

    Race Prediction:

    1. Hamilton
    2. Vettel
    3. Alonso
    4. Button
    5. Webber
    6. Raikkonen
    7. Hulkenburg
    8. Grosjean
    9.


    Other stuff
    • Vettel is overtaken by Hamilton on the first lap
    • Webber is overtaken by Hamilton off the line, then by Alonso on the straight
    • Button is overtaken by Alonso off the line
    • Massa has another spin


    I got the impression from Alonso's qualifying interview that he will be very aggressive. I reckon if he doesn't get past Button at the start or in the opening few laps, he'll attempt a move where Button has to yield to avoid a crash. He knows he has to take more risks and Button is a fair racer.

    I wish I had your level of optimism, Forza... I just can't help but think Vettel is going to cruise off in to a comfortably controlled win. Red Bull just seem to be on top of their game right now.

    Just in case anybody has a problem with Seb possibly gaining an advantage:

    And that's only the ones I could find in the highlights on the BBC in Q3 alone!

    Would love to have the whole session (on board) as I'm sure 2 or 3 of them here could of been kicked out of any of the lower Qualifying sessions for pulling the same stunt!

    Silver mate.... nobody is saying anything... Calm down bud, You're obsessing!

    A word from the wise: Relax, enjoy the remainder of the season... Your boy could make 3 in a row so just enjoy the journey. Some F1 fans never get to these dizzy heights, soak it in and don't sour it looking for something that doesn't exist. You may never see this again in all your years supporting F1.

    it wouldn't have surprised me if Alonso had written something like that, he has past form for complaining when other drivers do what he himself is guilty of.

    I'm calm but obsessing I'll admit that Sarge, it's just the principle of people across the web calling him a cheater when there's clear evidence of the other top drivers doing the same. That's all, nothing more as I think I've made my point before any keyboard warriors come around... <ok>

    Honestly mate... Even if he did cut a corner he'd be head and shoulder above the rest of the pack there, so it's a moot point. Right now it's advantage to Vettel and RBR as they not only have Vettel up there but also Webber. Kudos to them, they are doing the reverse that others have done in the past and dominating the end of the season.

    Do me a favor... Ignore the rest of the crap that people spout out there in the cluster that is the internet, you'll find hate everywhere no matter who you support. In the main you'll find balance here and I certainly don't see anybody calling Vettel a cheat here. Like I say... enjoy the ride because ina few weeks you could be on cloud nine. Just don't be obnoxious and rub it in. :p

    Doesn't that generally happen in F1 though Miggs? When somebody takes the advantage, competitors like to have a bit of a moan or raise a complaint even if they are guilty themselves. It's not like it's exclusive to one driver or team.

    1. Vettel
    2. Hamilton
    3. Webber

    Alonso looked more agitated yesterday than I've seen him for years, I imagine he'll be completely focussed again by the start of the race, but if he isn't I could see him doing something rash. I'm not sure how compliant those around him will be, Massa obviously won't trouble him, but Button and Hamilton are fighting Ferrari for the constructors' and won't want to yield too easily. I think Button still has beating Hamilton in his sights as well.
