I hate that. I hope he doesn't really feel that way.

He had 17 other races to change the results.

Not to mention that he decided to try to take his entire pitbox along for the ride to victory at that round.

suzuka should be interesting.. if it rains, i predict hamilton winning, he's superb in the rain. i hope rubens can do well enough to keep button from winning the wdc at suzuka, i want this to stretch out for another month!

[quickervicar]

^ Agreed!

I would predict Vettel instead of Hamilton for the win, since he is better than Hamilton in the rain, and I would say his car is better in wet conditions since it produces heat better and KERS won't be as much of an advantage in the wet.

Yeah.... Jenson is pretty good in wet as well.

I really also wonder how Kimi and Lewis are going to work together... hmmm.

easy.. lewis gives a shit and kimi doesn't.. should be a nice pairing..

I can say exact opposite from his previous race when lewis crashed his car instead of gaining some points for his team ;)

he's crashed many times and made stupid mistakes and i'm not his biggest fan but you can't say he doesn't have the motivation. usually he has too much of it which causes stupid mistakes while kimi is icy cool. they don't call him the iceman for no reason.

If it rains, look for one of the following surprises on the podium:

Toyota
Force India
BMW

[Dave]

Wow - Buemi Looks good in Sat Practice!!!! And Webber just put his car in the tire wall - no failure - just driver error . . .

[kishg]

looks like its gonna be a good one.. vettel on pole, followed by trulli, hamilton and sutil. rubens in 5th, button in 7th. if rubens can make it to the podium, this drama is going to interlagos!

[E30Kaiser]

well Rubens and Button got hit with penalties so, yeah don't see a podium in their future but it is still possible. Rubens can technically still be alive after this race even if he doesn't score, assuming Button doesn't score more than 4 points.
