If massa outqualifies alonso in china it will be the first time ever a teammate has done that 5 times in a row. Though now that someone has pointed it out it probably wont happen.
Im happy massa is back on form though, it was getting quite sad to see how far he had fallen.

I'm amazed, honestly I expect him to be out of F1 a few months ago - now he looks like a top driver again.
Still can't see him beating Alonso though

I think Hamilton was only controversial at McLaren really, we all handled the incident last race like adults
Thanks for replying, otherwise I may have waited. I think I may have booked one of the last remaining hotel rooms in Nagoya (not at an obscene price). Phew, heart was racing this morning!

Good job.
His race pace still needs a little work, but it really feels like the old Massa is back, and that's delightful. Something just clicked for him right at the end of last season. Even if he's not at Ferrari next year, I suspect he'll still be racing.

Didn't you guys hear, he outqualified Alonso 4 times. He's clearly Ferrari's #1 after that and he's absolutely confident about winning the WDC now.
I still remember Monaco last year, when Massa had some "crazy pace" at the beginning of the race and Alonso was holding everyone up, because he was saving tyres. GAF went nuts.

Is something wrong with Austin?

Germany, would have done Spa but I wanted La Source tickets.
I booked a villa and a car rather than trying to mess around with hotels near the venue.
For an actual performer, maybe. It could simply be a risk they're taking to try and beat Caterham to that last, important paying constructor position. They see Caterham pick two mediocre rookies, so they hedge their bets that with someone like Bianchi, they can actually finish better than them.
Price gouging. $500 + per night hotel rooms that are usually $80-120. I even have a place to stay for free but won't be going this year to try and make a point.
I understand a premium but it's a little dumb.
Bahahahaha. Gold.
I enjoyed my drive from San Antonio even if it means I missed out on the party atmosphere of downtown Austin while the race was on.
Free hotel room in SA and the drive was only ~60-80 mins each day.

Japanese GP for me, my first F1 race since 1986! Just want to hear the engines one more time before the grid turns into Toyota Prii next year.
I had booked a year early and was able to get 120 a night in round rock.

Go to Goodwood one year, you'll hear the golden oldies from 20 feet away
Though I have no doubts the 15k rpm v6 turbos are going to sound great, just different.
I'd make this an avatar if I could.
i wanted to do that, tried a few attempts but due to GAF size constraints couldn't get anything to look good.
Holy shit i almost forgot that this happened, watch this video on the 2:07 mark.

im amazed nobody got hurt that day. I still remember this happening. I really thought he would hit someone.

Love Kimis interview on the podium.
Man, I was hoping it would be a video interview and it'd just be Kimi in a wig :/

Ferrari won the constructor's championship that day, making for the first double (constructor's / driver's) in quite some time.
Sadly it was the first of many.
finally bothered to upload my photos from the Melbourne grandprix if anyones interested.
first time taking photos of fast moving cars. tis a tad difficult sigh.

for the press conference after the podium interview, is that live online somewhere to watch post race or available only to uk? I am watching f1 through nbc sports and we dont see that.

The public post-race conference was replaced with the podium interview. The one after that is for the press only.
