Agreed on all counts. :yep:

Agreed! Ferrari was not an injured party here. Raikkonen went off, entirely of his own doing, so he didn't have any standing to complain. Massa simply benefited by getting more points than he otherwise would have, but that doesn't put him in a real complainant situation imho.

The best response he can give now is to go out and win a couple of the remaining races http://imgcash2.imageshack.us/img144...ydriveral3.gif

Looking at some night photos of the Singapore circuit on motorsport.com, it may be floodlit, but imho it still looks like night. Granted the circuit is lit, but there are still shadow areas and looking down a straight the mid to far distance gets a bit darkish. Could be the photos, mind, but still. Got to affect your depth perception to some degree. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Want to take good pics in that environment will probably require a camera with a fast lense (f number 2.8 or so).

XabbaRus 09-24-08 07:23 AM

It will be interesting.

Hopefully it wont pan out like Valencia.

Now that would be really bad. The boredom would be enough to put me in a coma.

Agreed, would like the last F1 race i see this season to be exiting.

Here is a pic of what to expect with next years regulations:

Painfully ugly rear wing, but I like that it will allow cars to follow each other much more closely through corners. Less areo grip + more mechanical grip = orgasm.

....plus slick tyres :hmm: which are much more forgiving when sliding.

Wonder how Lewis Hamilton's drive will look like on slicks. Given that he already is by far the one who countersteers more in the grid (And that with grooved tyres!) it will sure be amazing to see him on slicks :up:

Jimbuna 09-24-08 03:07 PM

I think he will soon learn to adapt.

Singapore looks good, Alonso fluked a last lap fastest time in 2nd practice. OK the guy is very good and it is a good lap considering Renault I'd say is behind BMW in terms of the cars overall pace. However I think it was a low lap blast as he's done this before and then there has been nothing in the race. Though he might surprise us.

I do swear though that if Alonso shaved off his eyebrows he's gain a few tenths.

Wow! That's quite the visual treat :|\\ . Don't know about overtaking, which is said to be very difficult, but a great looking track. Those lights seem to do the job.

That pit lane entrance is badly spotted :o , right on the racing line for the corner into the start/finish. The exit isn't in a good place either, feeding straight into the first corner. You'd think they'd have seen that coming.

Massa did a fine lap to take pole :up: . Running a bit lighter?

Too bad about Alonso. Off all the things, fuel feed. Pretty basic :huh: , seems to me.

Should be fun to watch this race.
