    It put a smile on my face too. It would be nice to see him prove something in the race.

    Sutil complained over the radio that Kimi ruined his lap, either that or he stole Sutil's dolphin.

    :emoticon-0136-giggl You don't get that from Lazenby and Herbert; old Murdoch's missing a trick there!

    Yes, Iceman: probably right. However, the Lotus seems easiest on tyres of all current cars, which might help with track position in the latter stages. Also, I entirely agree with your other comment about Hamilton's blitzing lap!


    Your brand of humour makes this place a lot of fun sometimes, Kyle?

    The Helmut is probably fixing things as we speak&#8230;

    <laugh> So it was Kimi who saved me from getting zero points with dire Rear in this week's sweepstakes - good man!

    Aah, Adrian and his dolphin... :emoticon-0115-inlov

    Webber's bound to start last, he was so close to the pitlane entrance, he must've run it dry. I'm sure I heard a radio message telling him to go into fuel save mode, so I don't believe the fuel pump excuse.

    According to Benson, according to Jennie Gow, according to word on the street, Webber's car only had 150ml left in it. Back of the grid.

    Ted said in quali that they normally dont take fuel samples outside of the people in Q3, he might get lucky on this.

    Let the "Dr. Frankenstein's Helmut fixed Webber's fuel rig" rumours begin&#8230;

    That's ridiculous if true. That would be like only testing the frontrunners for drugs in other sports. Perhaps give them some leeway with the whole having enough fuel to get back to the pits thing, but you need to provide an adequate fuel sample to prove you're not running something illegal.

    Surely it would be better for Webber to start last or in the pit lane? That way he's not in amongst the crash-happy brigade
