Formula 1 - Chinese Grand Prix
As the championship moves towards its climax, qualifying for the 56-lap Chinese Grand Prix was always going to be a critical session for the three championship hopefuls. After dominating practice at the 5.451km Shanghai International Circuit, it was championship leader Lewis Hamilton who got the job done to claim that all-important pole position
Felipe Massa looks ahead to the penultimate round of the championship from third position on the grid, a full half second behind Hamilton. Strategy, as ever, can still play a hand on race day as can the weather which is currently predicted to be unsettled on Sunday afternoon
So lets see how wins tmrw, as Alonso said he would help Massa and Kovalinen is distence 5th which will not be much of a help for Hamilton, But a fast start could make ne things happen...
Naaaa i'm not interested in Beckham - well except in the Armani advert!! ;)
Jo
Have you no shame ???
Next you'll be telling me that you like David Beckham..AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARggggggh.
Chinese GP is over..Brazil is next in 2 weeks....The Winner will be known by then...Good Formula 1 season so far...I enjoy the race on TV... Hopes to attend Formula 1 in Manama or Abu Dhabi next year..!!!
Ha ha!! He won!!! Go Lewis go!! I knew you'd do it!!! Hamilton to be world champion!!!!!
Jo
Well Its all over.. The Tiffosi wil be back next year with a better car and hopefully with Raikonnen on the ball from day 1.
Only footy to look forward to now....:(
a six second lead over Massa very quickly!
Did you Google it first?
remember that "Team orders" are not allowed...
Now if Raikonen should happen to miss a gear on the straight or take a few seconds longer in the pits, then that is not Ferrari's doing .. Is it ??
Will Raikonen let Massa past?
... of course he will.
Did you Google it first?
lol.....better than cctv..even star sports advertise...
Adverts on Shanghai TV!!!
Did you Google it first?
I'm sure McLaren boffins are "inducing" rain to help Hamilton..
Am I being paranoid ??
Rain Expected :)
start..........................
sopcast is a software, you can download from the site i gave and just log in...and try cctv,star sports or shanghai sports... you need to have a good connection and just wait it will load up..
you are logged in and in the address you just type start sports...or shanghai...
All link is blocked!! Grr...
Did you Google it first?
bald just search Star Sports...shanghai sports much better than cctv..do the search..dosnt need to be in the list
yeah very nervous indeed..came to dubai and changed the time twice :)
he he he he...
Its 08:00 BST, which is 10:00 Doha..
More nervous momets..
Can't see Start Sports on the channel list for SopCast!?!?!!?
Did you Google it first?

Did you Google it first?

Did you Google it first?

Massa is doomed :)
Ban Spoon Feeding not Me
lol.. i hear the same thing in my head aswell, but still want massa to win....
I have all my digits crossed and hoping that a miracle will see Massa win and hamilton not score points. Then it will be all on the last race..
However, my head says that Hamilton will win the Championship..
ohh another 1 hour to go and i am tensed as lewis or massa....the start is going to be the best....lewis will have to see three attacks coming his way and he has to let go someone in front and if its raikonen or Alonso then they will make sure they control the pace till the pit stops so that Ferrari can do a good work and get Massa out in front... Alonso is still eying for a seat in ferrari so this his best chance to show his interest :)
Alonso If you are checking Qatar living...Just push Lewis in to grass :)
Oh I loved it but it rained the whole time, we stood there in the rain for 4 hours until the race started - it was horrible - I've never been that wet & cold in my life!!! It was worth it though but bought covered seats for next year!!
Thank you for the advise re Bahrain as it's something you forget when sat in a very cold wet country all the time!! ha ha!!
The noise and the smell of fuel in the air is intoxicating.. The "F1 Babes" are a bonus..
I went to Bahrain two years ago.. Its great, but make sure you get good seats.. Its very hot and not too nice sitting in the stands right in the Sun..
Why don't you like Hamilton?? Just wondered as I love him to bits!! ha ha!! I never liked F1 as it was so noisey on the tv but my Hubby is a mad supporter, so for his 30th Birthday this year I took him as a surprise to Silverstone & saw Lewis win - i'm totally hooked now!! We have booked to go next year & we hope to go to the one at Bahrain if we can get tickets once we are settled in Qatar.
Take a day off, Muhandis. Formula 1 is too important to miss it due to work place restrictions.
MD, I know the satelite channels, but there is no way I can watch it from office :(
I don't like Hamilton, but I have to admit that this year he is the best...
Look forward to it..
However, "adorable" should not be a term attributed to a F1 Racing Driver ;o)
Raikkonen will kick out Hamilton and Massa will win.
You trator britexpat!!! ha ha!!! Hamilton is fab!! I'll lend you his book when we get to Qatar - he's adorable!! ha ha!!! My Hubby will kill me as i'm saying this on his sign on!!! ha ha!!!
Love Jo
I am biased because I detest Hamilton. However, Ferrarui have shot themselves in the foot too many times this year.
It's already been a bad year, so I presume the gods of F1 are smiling on Lewis and McLaren..
Nooooooooooooooooooooo Massa needs to crash out!! ha ha!!! COME ON LEWIS!! WHOOP WHOOP!!!
lol.....Charan, we will know that answer tmrw at the same time....tmrws race nobody needs to win except Kubica to win the tile, Massa needs to finish three places more than Hamilton and do the same in brazil... he dsnt need to win,,... :) small info for you
Bottom Line is Massa will not win. That is the result I want to give to Mr. BAKAMUNA :)

No no no!!! ha ha!!! Lewis Hamilton will win - you'll see!!! I so hope so anyway!!! COME ON HAMILTON!!!
Love Jo
Hamilton could be penalised by stewards for an incident during Saturday morning practice in China.
Last year when Hamilton came to chine he had a 17 point lead, what happend end of the race is known to all, and in the end in Brazil he pressed the wrong button :) we all know that, he is famous to make such mistakes soo we can expect something from him...
My prediction for the start:
Raikonen will have a better start and will pass Hamilton and fernando alonso will attack from the other side Hamiton has to defend one side and Massa will pass him before the first corner...oh man i love too see this happen...
Massa will not win tomorrow :)Hamilton will be the winner
