    Also respect for Esteban, he's getting closer and closer to Hulk in qualifying and the car still handles like a truck.

    I think we are going to be in for some fun tomorrow. Hamilton says he doesn't have anything to lose so he is going for every gap in taking the fight to Vettel. Also Lauda says his guys got new instruction...not conservative driving ..he guys were told to go aggressive this weekend. That should be interesting. Then Alonso usually flies off the grid and he will be trying to be with the leaders from early. Grosjean..well it depends on which Grosjean turns up, will be a serious factor at the start too.

    Hamilton: 'When I see a gap, I'm going for it'
    Lewis Hamilton aims to have fun during Sunday's Korean Grand Prix and says he'll go for every and any gap he can find in an attempt to beat Sebastian Vettel to the race win.
    The Mercedes driver, who sits 96 points behind Vettel, claims he has nothing to lose in comparision to the Red Bull driver who needs just a few more wins to secure his fourth consecutive title.
    "I'll do everything I can to attack because I've got nothing to lose," said the Briton. "When I see a gap, I'm going for it. He [Vettel] has more to lose than I do so I'm going to go for it."
    Whilst Hamilton qualified just two tenths off Vettel, he admitted there wasn't much more in the car but is confident of challenging for the win on Sunday.
    "We did as good a job as we could and I felt like I got the most out of the car I could," he added. "Perhaps there is always a little bit of room to improve but in general it's been a good weekend so far. I really hope tomorrow we are able to fight with them, but we will wait and see."

    I agree, too many questions are being asked about Red Bull's system so they would want to be very careful. Many eyes will be watching and ears will be listening during this race. But if Hamilton or Alonso jumps him early he will have no choice but to show it.

    I think it will be interesting to listen to instructions from the pit wall of Red Bull. They will tell him when to turn it on and when to shut it down...of course in their coded language.

    People think Raikkonen will be better than Massa at pushing Alonso hard in qualifying?

    I'm at the point where I prefer these sketchy tracks over the manicured parking lots though. :)

    Not that i'm a comic book nerd or anything, but i reckon Vettel must be wanting to shout (in the style of The Thing)

    "It's clobberin' time!!"

    Well Vettel's probably got this now. Come on Romain, hold LH off.

    Is there something up with Webber's car? He's dropping off the back of Kimi, looks very slow on the exit of corners too.
