Too bad Webber is smart enough to choose dealing with Marko versus dealing with Alonso/Santander

Some insights on Lotus and Kimi's contrat from Lopez in Turun-Sanomat (Kulta)
http://www.racingnerds.com/?p=1096

As I said, Buemi has his seat secured, and Chilton looks like the negotiations are going well. But the Kimi limbo could protract the whole shenanigans.
BTW, WEb is not going to Fer. I told you about the negotiations, but he didn´t want another contractually secured #2 spot, with VET soon to leave.
Where was Buemi going?
I think the best we can hope for is that someone sees the lengths Kamui is going to and backs him for a ride in the FI (assuming both seats aren't essentially locked in already). Either of the others would be good too, but FI would give him the best chance at any kind of points over next season.

indy 2005 - only 6 cars started the race because michelin delivered the wrong tires.

So, this is the best my team's looked all year IMO. Any tips guys? It's not like I'm going to win anything
At this point in the season there is very little you can do, because everyone around you will probably be going with a very similar team (8 out of the top 10 had the same team last week, VET, HAM, RBR, RBR & TOT)
So the only way to move serious places this week will to hope for a strange outcome & call it right (a Hamilton, Webber 1,2 be odd enough
)It might also be a better idea to gamble with the same engine & chassis - because you will never get as many points splitting them, although you risk loosing alot more if one driver retires.
Heres mine - Im playing it safe and hoping to finish in the top 10
(I feel bad having all that extra money when I have nothing to buy...)
Although i had been tempted to remove Vettel completely & replace him with Alonso - Because thats the outcome I acctually want
I like the way you think
I think that's been the biggest problem I had this year. Too safe with splitting the teams and drivers, but in doing so you never actually make any big gains.
The reason I'm splitting the RBR and the Ferrari is because I don't want to lose too many points when Vettel's alternator craps out and Alonso takes the chequered flag

You did what I wasn't brave enough to do. I will check afterwards to see if keep it like that
Wait... you're third, Staab? Wouldn't you still get a hat or something if you won?
PS. What's been with F1GAF's atrocious performance this year? Other years I've watched from afar and it did well, but this year (it's the first year I was in it, I swear it's a coincidence) we've been far off the pace.

Only the top sub league wins hats afiak
I was first for a couple races. That should indicate how bad GAF has been this year, if I can get to the top, even temporarily.
As for this race:
Ham/Webber
RBR
RBR
Total.
8 Million left over, but I can't afford anyone that I think will actually place better than those two.

Last race of the season and I'll probably miss it
I'll definetly miss qualifying but hopefully I can make it for the race, looking 50/50 at the moment.

Kobayashi Kickstarter eh? :/
Even if Vettel retires he has so much luck that Alonso will probably finish outside the top 3 anyway.

When that engine broke and started to let smoke out Kimi probably had flashback from his Mclaren years. Good old times.

I don't think the Ferrari is going to be as good in the rain as it was earlier in the year. They were good then because the car was cooking the tyres, obviously it doesn't any more (it's one of the best cars in the race).

Mclaren looks amazing here.

Plus Red Bull have now well and truly recovered from the switch to the 2012 rules, after their downforce issues early in the year. On pace alone, I expect a conservatively setup Red Bull could take anything Ferrari have to offer in the wet.
Factor in the inherent chaos of wet racing though and it could be anyone's.

Why didn't Vettel do a lap?

Looks like Button is planning on spoiling Hamilton's party.
That sounds like a good feeling to me.

I think Vettel's made the smart decision going for the higher downforce setup. Will be useful in the race.

Nothing would depress me more than vettel retiring during the race & Alonso finishes 4th
It would be a perfectly fitting for Ferrari though, given their efforts. Their only competitor has thrown it away, and they're still not fast enough to win.
Might be the kick up the arse they need.

I just don't think the car has what he'd need to do that.
So, qualifying. Going for a risky one.
1: Button.
2: Hamilton.
3: Vettel.
Assuming it doesn't rain.

He's dodged a spinning Senna is that corner before. Nothing new there.
I think Vettel has got it with the championship, but an Alonso upset would be fun to see, too. At least this season's championship fight isn't over until the final race. As it should be.

Dammit, now Kimi will struggle in quali
I'm assuming 10 place grid penalty .. What do the rules say exactly? On Friday they can change to an old engine without a penalty but not on Saturday right?
I would've put $10 if it had paypal, although I'm not a fan at all but I really hate pay drivers and that's the least I could've done
I think the biggest problem with Alonso winning is that Mclaren are within 14 points of ferrari for 2nd in the constructors. McLaren is going to fight tooth and nail for those 14 points. There will be no help from anyone else on the grid. If Alonso wins he'll have to do it himself. While it was nice of Ferrari to compromise Massa last race, they got really lucky and Massa did amazing to recover from 11th. Doing something like that again could be really risky. They may not chance it just because Mclaren are so close. I think what they did last race had more to do with dirty vs clean side than just a position switch. In that context it was a brilliant call.
