Yeah, win it this time. Or at least crash into a certain McLaren, not into Webber! :p :Quote:

so what are the changes they report on fuji this year. lookslike the same wexact track as las year, maybe the last turn is less tight?
Well, at some point I hope to see Vettel and Webber closing in on a McLaren :D
Besides that chicane, and the unnecessary tarmac runoff that facilitates frequently running off the road, Fuji is a good circuit!
Where'd you hear that?Quote:

So far first blood for Lewis Hamilton - it was the same in Singapore, however and in qualifying Massa was fastest. It is nice to see that the Renault remain competitive.

Top 17 covered by a second, Glock fastest and Nakajima still showing promise
Whilst I'm looking forward to next years regulations, which should provide a good format for encouraging closer racing.
I think its definately going to spread the field out hugely, and I will miss the days of the top 17 cars being covered by 1s.
Does anyone know of any era in F1 where the cars were so closely matched?
