Now there's a turnip for the books!

I must go on holiday more often.

Got to see the race re-run at 1pm Sunday, but couldn't really remember my inspired choices.

The early flush of success will not last, I fear.

Oh come on, you were in Oz with some sort of jamming device for the rear wing overtaking thingy to manipulate the result in your favour. We know the truth!!!

I've never been in Oz.


Jilly, however, is a different story.

I would like to be near the sharp end whether it be through experience or shear fluke :)

As Ross is away, may I presume to remind Honourable Competitors that Practice 1 & 2 for the Malaysian Grand Prix starts in a very few hours and it's getting on for time to make any Team changes they wish, to have a stab at quali positions and to pluck a predicted fastest lap time out of the ether.

Dishonourable Competitors are on their own.

Brollies on standby!

Quali results are up. Scott Borders F1 have taken pole with a superb qualifying performance, with Burnin Rubber and Pro Drive taking positions 2 and 3 on the grid. It's been a close session, just 4 points seperate the top 6, and 8 points seperating the top 10.

Roll on race time.

Yes, very interesting session.

Yet another failure from Schumacher - It's getting embarrassing now and surely time for him to stop bed-blocking and give way to an up-and-coming talent?

McLarens were AWESOME

Just checked qualifying positons and I'm quite pleased with 8th on the grid, even though I entered a wet lap time! I have also liveried my own car which looks good on the grid.

Should be an interesting race if the forecasted heavy showers materialise.

Not until I can afford to change him LOL

BTW Is that AS on pole? He's on holiday isn't he?? In Malaysia??? (really, the lengths some people will go to just to win a fantasy league)

Yup, he's continuing the trend I started last time out!

Should be a fab race, dry or wet. Lewis has got his mojo back.

Yes, I hope so. Let's hope there's no need for Bernie to get his sprinkler out (for the crowds sake at least)

I agree, he never gave up, it seems these tyres have some rather unusual characteristics, I like the 'cliff wall' characteristic, even the best will go off once reached.

I will now be languishing down at the bottom of the league after my drivers failed as indeed did all elements bar one. Time to start a different strategy

Actually you didn't do too badly, Neil...................

And my overall lead has been cut dramatically. Shall I quit while I'm ahead?! :-rofl2

My driver of the day has to be Webber, fantastic considering no kers or flap, quick nick pulled one out of the bag too I think to cement his place until Kubica is back maybe even replace Petov or at least a 3rd driver spot...

I don't know, are you planning on attending Shanghai? Hopefully AS will have returned your jamming device that he used so effectively today on Webber, then you could give it another try!!

Are further extensions to it's range in the pipeline, or is it limited to wing-kers??
