Chinese Grand Prix

Let's hope alonso doesn't hold the rest of the pack up like he did in malaysia button needs to keep on vettels tail as he has a couple of laps of extra fuel by the looks.

Alonso was heavy in Sepang though, and was only where he was due to him making a cracking start. Here he's there (that's so wrong ) as that's where his car is. He shouldn't really be holding anyone up for the 8-10 laps he'll be ahead of them.

if hamilton can drive like he did in aussie, he will finish in the top 3

Looking at the weights I think Hamilton is well placed for the race tomorrow. I'm not surprised Alonso is running so light but I am a bit disappointed that the red bulls are both running light. I expect both Alonso and Webber will fall back quite a bit but I wouldn't rule out Vettel. Looks like it's going to be a good one anyway - quite a mix of strategies instead along the whole grid by the looks of it (both Kubica and Glock are running 'normal' fuel loads despite being at the arse end of the grid so look to see them fighting up the ranks too)

I'd imagine most will two stop, although it might be tempting for Alonso and the red bulls to 3 stop if they can get the pace out by keeping light - can't imagine anyone wanting to stay out on the softs for very long or they'll be running on canvas...

Looking forward to the race! Hope Button does well.

The rain made for an interesting race. I wont mention the result for those wanting to watch it at later. Some good bttles for position hamilton vs raikonen was quite entertaining also Kubica made an interesting move on Truli..quite entertaining to watch alot of spins.

[matty-hodgson]

anyone else notice this?

[kalniel]

No-one should be reading this thread between now and watching the re-run! Would be daft!

Trulli getting eaten by Kubica was quite amusing

Also Hamilton.. been taking some ballet lessons from Massa I think

I feel sorry for Piquet, but if I was Flavio today I would've told him to park the car wherever he was, and find his own way home. Getting a bit bored of his antics, now.

Flavio is two faced and his got the nerve to call Button as slow as a mile post.....

I really feel sorry for Sutil for Force India. He was set for a point or 2 and i think he was unlucky to just loose it on the standing water..would be nice for them to get some points...and get infront of ferrari.
