Wow - that's going to make a for a great race tomorrow, but what a result for Vettel and Toro Rosso. Amazing to see Hamiliton and McLaren mess this up, generally speaking you'd expect Lewis to take advantage of the wet conditions but that didn't happen at all. Going to be an interesting race, guys...!
Not all of McLaren. Heikki wasn't stupid enough to switch to intermediates in quali session 2. Hamilton and his engineer made a weird decision. Their fault, now they have to deal with it.

Should be another good race this weekend. I still think Lewis got screwed last week.

Sometimes you can out-smart yourself....it appears to thats what LH has done, he is going to need rain today if he is going to have a chance.

I watched that race again (Spa) and he did get screwed.

Morning Gents!

Vettel and Kova and teams running a fabulous race in the rain. Lots of action in the 4-10th spots too.

Nice race indeed. I've heard that Vettel will be with BMW next year instead of Heidfeld, anyone else heard something similar?

I believe he has already been confirmed to move up to the Red Bull team, taking Coulthard's seat.

That's what they said on SPEED, but with that result in the Toro Rosso, that might be a demotion!

+1, but I wonder if Red Bull look at the contracts for the engines and see if they get the Ferrari engines next year and Torro Rosso get the Renaults...Remember also that the Torro Rosso team is up for sale because of a new rule in F1 that doesnt allow for customer chassis to other teams. It will be very interesting to see what unfolds...

Very cool track, they go under the grandstands at one point in the lap.

City circuit at night, can't wait.
