Looking forward to seeing ‘driver of the day’ after Kobayashi’s brilliant drive, Petrov’s solid performance – Webbers sensational recovery drive and Alonso’s solid defense! (Which wasn’t quite as controversial as Schumi’s!)

We both got it wrong, but the race was definitely a lot more interesting than I had expected.

The safety car made all the difference of course.

There may be a rule clarification today on the front wings

it reminds me a bit of france… corner after corner with no overtaking. Perhaps it will share a similar fate.

Great performance by Red Bull yet again, highlighting the greatness of Adrian Newey, the car is just unbelievably great. Barring any mishaps or tangles, they should secure an extremely easy 1-2 finish, possibly with most, if not all of the field lapped.

Looking ahead to the following races, this is how I think the races will pan out:

Belgium: I think it could be a bit like Turkey, with Red Bull and McLaren being the leaders, with little separating them, followed by Ferrari, and then the rest. It is going to be nip and tuck between Red Bull and McLaren.

Italy: This should suit McLaren and Ferrari, with the layout similar to Canada, but Italy even more better suited. This weekend will probably be damage limitation for Red Bull, but they will be ahead of the rest though.

Singapore: It is going to be a grand battle here at a circuit which in my opinion is a circuit where the best drivers rise closer to the top. Alonso and Hamilton have done well here before and Red Bull has the best car on the grid, so it is going to be close here.

Japan: This should be a tour de force for Red Bull with McLaren and Ferrari following behind them, with the rest behind these three teams.

Korea: Hard to judge since Formula 1 has not been here before. I get the feeling that it may suit Red Bull over McLaren and Ferrari, but it is a close call at this stage.

Brazil: This should be a grand battle royale here with cars that should be well-suited around here in what could be a high pressure weekend.

Abu Dhabi: The finale should a great one with cars that should be suited to this circuit. The perfect stage for the championship battle to finish. This should be a classic.

This is my opinion at this stage, but I am sure my mind will change at some of these remaining races.

Those are interesting “facts”.

Thank you James for your message below, I hope to take as much out of the weekend as I can, going all three days.

I think you should get the rights and do that on JAonF1.com. I’d pay for it.

I still listen to the Brundle commentary but have learnt to screen out the Legard comments. Fortunately my wife and son talk over most of the race so it is quite easy. Also, what it is with his pronounciation of “yesterday”. That is annoying.

Didn’t they ban the front tyres and the skirts because they weren’t legal on the track?

Personally I think the wing is a clever exploitation of the rules. It gives speed without burning more fuel and therefore they should stay.
