7am start for me.

 

Lucky you, I have to be up at 5am, to see the prerace prep for a 6am start. Stupidly, I will be up, if only to see the steam rising from eltons ears! Here's hoping he fails to start and ends up plumb last. The radio will be the best entertainment of the year if it happens!

 

you are getting a bit ambitious with your voodoo, aren't you?

 

it would definitely paint a smile on my face for another week

 

I will be here for the pre race and race live. Must see this one!

 

Still shows rain currently for the morning hours. Hopefully a dry race!

 

Hoping for great things from Kimi.

 

If you don't ask, you don't get. I was going to get a local school to get the kids to pray for Elton to dnf, god answers the prayers of children before adults. However, I remembered I am now the dark lord of the Sid, so I will channel the dark side!

 

7pm for me. It is good to see the Emirates ladies back.

 

Hope so too! Maybe Rosey and Hammy can slow each other down and Kimi stay out of trouble. Kimi has shown flashes of brilliance.

 

Unfortunately, the latest news (on "Autosport") is that Kimi just got a grid penalty for gearbox change...

Hopefully not a strategy to move Seb ahead of Kimi like they did to Massa a few years ago.

 

Damn! Bad luck for Kimi.

 

Checking in. IMO, the best circuit on the calendar. Even better than Spa.

 

Well crap! 10 spots????

 

Ouch did not see that in the press....

 

+1 all tracks should have similar characteristics with small run off, real grass etc.

 

No, five. He will start from 8th.

JB is starting P22

 

Does anyone know what caused the box change?

 

Vettel complaining about Kimi being in front of him ... joking!

 

lol could be!

 

Funny!

 

Top 10 are starting on softs.
