^ If your refering to last week, he had a dry weather set-up on the car. So the car didn't come around to him until the end of the race when the track finally started to dry.

He didn't seem racey to you in Spa?

Well, I'm not gonna say much other than MM moved up in constructors points as they should have. PK and the SF pit crew ruined Massa's race. Today, he got dealt a nasty nasty hand and I don't like that happening to any driver. I would feel sorry for Kimi but it's not anyone's fault that he can't control his car and SF hasn't been helping his case with all these equipment and mechanical malfunctions. Until next time!!!

That was a good race... Not what I wanted to see but gotta love it when the safety car comes out and totally changes the entire race. Nice to FA win a race again, eventhough I'm not really a fan. Great day for Williams and Nico, but he needs to step up on his training. The two times we've seen him on the podium this year he looks like he's going to die in the post race interview, just sweating profusely.
Can't wait for Japan eventhough I'm not gonna get to see the race, I'll be in Jamaica

Don't smoke too much ganja and I hope you're staying within the confines of a resort. I hear Kingston is a deathtrap right now and has been for some time now.
Have fun and be safe bro.

And it was a good race. Very confusing and screwed up but it was a good race.

Three things that were good about the Singapore race:

- The venue was really, really impressive
- It was nice to see Alonso on the podium again
- No driver or constructor points for Ferrari

Interesting race @ Singapore. Hurray for Alonso winning his 1st grand prix of the year!!! Hurry for Nico Rosberg for placing 2nd ... as for third I really wish it were another underdog winning, instead of the usual Mclaren Mercedes/Ferrari guys ... eg: seeing Timo Glock and Toyota would've been great ....

I've come to the realization I don't like any of the "Street" circuits. It makes for a very boring race, the straights aren't too long and the corners aren't wide enough. You don't see any of the exciting passing you see on the other more traditional circuits. If it were up to me, I would rather see just 1 street circuit a year have the rest on more traditional circuits.

For the most part I agree with you. I think Valencia needs to go, but Singapore can stay. I think they should have 2 Japanese GP's. F1 needs to be at Suzuka... I wan't to say F1 goes back there next year, I think after this year they alternate between Fuji and Suzuka.

They need to get rid of that stupid light system they have. Two times this year they've had problems with it and it's put people in harms way. Beside's I think the FIA is going to ban it.

I was so Happy to see Ferrari get what was due to them, now all Lewis must do is finish 2nd in the remaining races.

I agree. Go back to the lollipops. Sometimes it's better to rely on a human being rather than a circuit. When crew members almost lose their heads, it's time to seriously reconsider how you do things.

haha you beat me to it. it was great to see this happen to right the wrongs the FIA has done in the past weeks. it's just sad because if they hadn't screwed hamilton over in belgium, after singapore he'd likely be too far ahead for anyone to catch. hopefully the FIA doesn't do anything stupid in the last few races.

Or better yet, they could do both Fuji and Suzuka during a season If a race track is good, its good period
