Hamilton says that he's aiming for Mclaren 1-2. Let's see what happens.

Massa NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Cant believe that. I properly felt sorry for the guy!

Anyone who didnt watch it, Basically theres been rumours that Massa's job is ont he line. Hamilton apparently claimed he was feeling an air of invisibility by claiming he could of gone much quicker. Maybe he could. On the grid, McLaren 1-2, 1st corner and Massa is behind Hamilton, Goes round the outside and makes it stick. Massa leads for the majority of the race, Hamilton slips to 11th because of a tyre burst. 3 laps to go, and Massa's engine pretty much goes bang on the straight.

You could see it in his face when he climbed out that he was gutted.

Still, I should get points for his awesome drive.

Massa had really bad luck indeed. But I don't mind, cause Kovi finally got his first win! Race went pretty well for me overall, just Sutil (I knew it was a risk) retiring near the end.

Well, overall it's still the same position, any of the top three (Hamilton, Räikkönen, Massa) can win the championship. I'd put my money in for Räikkönen right now. He wasn't happy with 3rd place (Although he beat both Massa and Hamilton) at all and I'm pretty sure he'll bee looking for wins in the next races.

Kimi wasnt looking good first half of the race though. It was only after he leapfrogged Alonso that the car came to life really.

I'd like to think it'll go down to the last race again really. Hamilton will pull off one or two great drives and then not good ones to even his points out. Massa will be the consistant one as he has been for his whole career and Kimi will do the same as Lewis.

I can't say I felt sorry for Massa, I wanted Kovalinen to win.

Two of my drivers finished so i'm happy enough. Webber was doing well though, it was a shame he retired.

and my chose for bonus race was a complete screw up too. hahah. That's why I'm doing so badly at the moment. I'm trying to risk things for every race to get the result to catch the leading guys a little. We'll see if it'll finally pay off in next race.

I think the race in Valencia was bulled up way too much, it was a pretty boring race untill the last 7 laps or something when everyone seemed to wake up and actually race. All except for Massa he walked it from the start.
If they hadn't changed the grid slots over either Hamilton would have had Massing going into turn two.

Yes.

I don't like the Valencia street circuit at all now. No way to overtake, cause there's only one clean line and everything else is dusty as hell. Only exciting thing that happened was Kimi driving over a member his pit crew, so yeah...

Results have changed. Hamilton has been knocked down to 3rd place.

Therefore Massa goes into first = I get more points :D

I can't believe just how bad the stewards decision at Belgium was. Just completely stupifying.

Hamilton won the race fair and square, even Niki Lauda can't believe what's happened.

FIA = Ferrari International Assistance.

Who had Vettel then? XD

Well chuffed for the guy. Fisi was out, but I think Barrichello was around 8/9thish towards the end, and Hamilton climbed through loads of places so I'll get a few points off that.

Damn, I've completely forgotten to look at how to change my team for the past races!

Well... I guess it's alright anyway. The new track is much better than the Valencia street circuit btw.
I'm guessing that Ferrari will get a 1-2, but let's see what happens.

I'm really liking Vettel at the moment, he'll grow on me more and more I suppose.

Hamilton's call for a farce, especially seeing as one of the stewards came up to him and told him specifically that he did nothing wrong. Though Hamilton's managed to tred on my nerves recently, in talks with a lawyer from Ferrari (I don't know the whole story) he said "It's something a racer would know," in a really pompous attitude. Well deserving of the "Well, I represent Ferrari and they evidently know nothing about racing" retort.

Massa deserves a win for his bad luck, but as the Englishman I am I'm rooting for Hamilton all the way.. so yeah! :)

The last races have atleast been exciting if nothing else. I'm going to guess Massa to get the championship, I just have a feeling that Hamilton may fail the last races again, but nothing's certain.
