Well both Ferraris have new engines for this weekends' race - this alone should inspire plenty of confidence for Massa. Hamilton is running the same motor from Shanghai. Ferrari have also ditched that techie pitstop light thingy which fubar'd a few pitstops in previous races. It will come down to qualifying and the weather.

Good for Hamilton, not so much for ferrari...

[z31maniac]

We can all dream right......

If only, if only. Though it should be an exciting race regardless. Brazil has been very exciting the past 2 years after all.

ROFL at z31maniac! classic!
i really hope massa wins the championship!

[Jparkr]

Im pushing for Massa obviously.

But i have to wonder. if the situation was switched I MAY push for hamilton just a LITTLE cause i love underdog wins.

Like last year. I was all about Alonso, but I really wanted to see Kimi come out of no where. So even though my first pick didn't win I was not upset.

On the other hand, I hate hamilton so much that the amount of hatred would take out any underdog cheers for him.


BTW that graph is AWESOME

Massa did what he needed to do! Hami 4th. OMG?!?!?!

[Jparkr]

Yes! i know! Looks like massa has better odds then Once thought!

Good quali session - I think Ham-boi is going to take the cautious approach tomorrow. He has a race-old engine vs. Massa's fresh mill. Lewis needs to finish no less than 5th if Massa takes the win to clinch the Driver's championship. The other factor that could play into Lewis' favor is the likelihood of rain during the race. Previous races this season have shown that when conditions are wet, Hamilton > Massa. If there's rain falling at the start of the race, the first pass through the Senna "S" should be interesting to say the least. Alonso is right behind Lewis on the grid. "Accidental" cut tire anyone?

Accidental cut tire: Fisi Schumacher 06 [BEST drive of any F1 driver ever]

z31, I lol'd, good stuff.

Massa did well today, and Räikkönen backed him up like a good teammate should. It was almost a Ferrari front row before Trulli put in a stellar Q3 performance. Hopefully, Räikkönen will put the (nonchalant) block on LH tomorrow if it's necessary. Thinking back to past World Champions, I do not think LH is worthy of that title, but that's my opinion.

Tomorrow will be really interesting.

Hamilton deserves the championship, but Massa deserves it more.

I can't wait to see Alonso pile into LH in turn 1!!!!!!!!!
